RESILIENCE

What is resilience? Google says “resilience” is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, toughness or the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity. Well, with that being said let’s talk about the year 2020. In this past year, we’ve gone from a global health pandemic, racial injustice, volatile climate to complex geopolitics and the crazy and divisive U.S. election. This year will certainly never be forgotten.

Our ability as a society to adapt, innovate and grow on a global and local level has been extraordinary. In our businesses and careers, we have learned to pivot and become creative in our new business ventures and careers. We’ve had to innovate and create/develop products and services that now cater to the “new normal”. As an entrepreneur or business owner, it’s imperative that you maintain the mindset of being resilient in your industry. Remain humble, authentic and fight the good fight!

It goes without saying that 2020 has been a year of pure hell for some if not all. Citizens and communities across the world did come together and exhibit courage and humility. Resilience is what defined 2020, but more importantly, it will be what takes us forward in 2021. Here’s to a healthy, safe, and happy 2021.
