Things Are Different | Personal business coach houston

Things are different than they were a year ago.  This is a huge understatement!  The arrival of COVID 19 and the effect on our lives worldwide has been immense.  My business coaching practice in the Woodlands and in Houston has given me an observation point to see many businesses and how they have responded to the new world that COVID 19 has wrought. 

The great news is that creativity, when it comes to survival is alive and well.  The bad news is that in many instances it is not enough to survive.  Each business, so to speak, is its own individual boat.  When COVID 19 first arrived, some boats were already in a safe harbor.  A safe harbor is a place where their business is not going to be severely affected.  They are going to be profitable and survive.  They will change because of safety concerns as to how they do business but overall, they are in good shape.

The next business boat is the one who was out at sea and experienced some stormy turbulence, but they were able to make it to the safe harbor and survive.  They were able to develop new sailing skills and disciplines to get through.  There were some rough spots, but they are going to be okay.

Then there were business boats that were farther out to sea.  As a result, in attempting to navigate getting to a safe harbor they experienced more of the storm and larger waves.  Some of these boats were able to make it.  Unfortunately, some took on too much water and capsized.  They will no longer be with us.

I’d like to focus on the ones that capsized and did not make it.  Some were already weak, and the smallest negative change was going to cause them to spring a leak and take on too much water.

Then there were those that were strong.  Yet, because of government mandates regarding COVID 19 safety they could not be open or their ability to do business was severely limited.  In the United States, the hospitality industry which includes restaurants, hotels, bars, travel and more was the focus on government mandates.  As a result, many of these businesses are gone and lives ruined.

The sad part for me is that the government was trying to do good and yet they got in the business of picking winners and losers.  And, when it comes to mandates on mask wearing and social distancing as far as groups of people getting together there was no consistency.

How To Connect In A Crisis | Tips on Self Improvement

One of the biggest aspects of the COVID 19 experience is the loss of connection with others.  As a business coach, I have witnessed first-hand the challenges and some of the benefits that have come to the various businesses I collaborate with.

Obviously, COVID 19 has disrupted the way we do business coaches houston and as a result, we now look at how we do business differently.  One of the biggest changes is the increased number of people working remotely from home.  In some cases, this has increased productivity which is good.  Is it sustainable?  It all depends on the position, the business, and the industry.  I believe it is safe to say that in the future many companies are going to reduce their office footprint and have more people working remotely.

Long-term it will be interesting to see the effects.  We are social animals.  There are people I talk to who wish they could be back at work with their fellow employees.  The team building and comaraderie are gone.  Communication is more challenging.  You can’t read the body language of individuals and team members in a Zoom meeting. People’s social needs are not being met.  We are connecting but not on a deeper level.

Especially in a crisis, connecting with others comes through shared vulnerability.  There have been many studies done on the strong bond that comes when we share our vulnerabilities with each other.  And the best and most effective way to do that is with face to face contact.

Yes, you can share vulnerability remotely, but it is not as effective.  Why?  Where at work, you can share your vulnerability and have the conversation continue later that day or the next you can’t really do that remotely.  You see someone on the screen, share your vulnerability and then it is over with.  You are now back in isolation and feel detached.  In the office environment as we once knew it, there would be other people to talk to about other things and we may see the same person again where we shared our vulnerability and continue the conversation, increasing the connection.
