We made a conscious decision not to talk about COVID-19-related topics because we want our content to be valuable regardless of the times. However, we’ve realised that the after-effects of COVID-19 have had a massive impact on our work and lives.
In this episode, we will not cover COVID-19 itself but how we, as leaders and entrepreneurs, dealt with the pandemic’s economic consequences. Our discussion will focus on the strategies and processes you can employ to overcome times of uncertainty or challenges that disrupt businesses. These strategies cover the operations of the businesses and the team members and clients that we work with.
We’d love to hear from you. What strategies did you employ as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and what has been the result so far?
