Change fatigue

I'm sure your world also has been turned upside down – like if a tidal wave crashed over our lives, finances, routines and plans. Maybe you've tried to hold on, maybe you've changed, maybe you are still in the midst of responding to these changes. We've been hearing a lot from clients this week about slumping morale, that wherever you are on this journey of change, change fatigue has settled in. This tiredness is understandable. How can we not feel 'meh' when nothing is certain? This new life is not just working from home, it's being at home during a crisis... trying to work.

Hopefully, this Easter will bring some peace and quiet, and give you the time you need to reflect on how we want to enter this new world. Amsterdam is already looking ahead to the months after COVID-19, and has announced that they will embrace Kath Raworth's doughnut model. The model, an alternative to growth economics, was created to consider the needs of both the planet and humans to thrive. I highly recommend Raworth's book Doughnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist, which is enlightening, inspiring and easy to follow.
 

What are the things you are happy to, or even should, leave behind? What are the things you want to continue building upon? Who around you will be essential in making the shift happen?

Have a great long weekend.
