2. Appreciate adversity
3. Align your actions with your heart
REMEMBER WHAT
REALLY MATTERS
Dealing With Disruption
23. “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear,
but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who
does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
Nelson Mandela
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every
experience in which you really stop to look fear in the
face. You must do the thing which you think you
cannot do.”
Eleanor Roosevelt
“As long as we are alive, we feel fear. It is an intrinsic
part of our makeup, as natural as a bitter cold winter
day or the winds that rip branches off trees. If we
resist it or push it aside, we miss a powerful
opportunity for awakening.”
Tara Brach
“In the cave you fear lies the treasure you seek."
Joseph Campbell

45. Future of Work Transition
THE NEW NORMAL
Retrieve all pertinent resources from the office. Please be sure to take all necessary belongings that
you need from our workspace by/before date. The physical office will be closed until further notice.
Prepare your home to work remotely. This is everything from internet speed to creating a comfortable
home-working space. Reference the CDC’s Individuals and Families Checklist for other things you can do
to prepare your home.
Leverage telecommunication tools. Implement and/or consistently use tools like Microsoft Teams,
Skype, Zoom, Whereby, or other services for web conferencing and team communication. This will allow
us to still collaborate effectively, sharing faces and not germs.
Save all files to the cloud. Ensure remote access to all important files using sharing services like
Dropbox, SharePoint, and Google Drive.
46. Long Game with Customers
GO ABOVE AND BEYOND
• Add more value. Example: Communication from salesforce.com’s CEO, Marc Beniof
• Anticipate needs. Examples: Loom, a video recording and sharing service has made Loom Pro
free for teachers and students at K-12 schools, universities, and educational institutions. They have
also removed the recording limit on free plans and have cut the price for Loom Pro in half.
• Play the opposite game. Chef José Andrés of LA set up shop in California earlier this month to feed
cruise ship guests quarantined from the outbreak. Andrés announced this week he will transform
eight of his New York and Washington, DC, restaurants into community kitchens for those struggling
during the pandemic.
• Subtract to the essentials. Action by Governor Hogan
• Epiphany. Look for something new; Shine Distillery in Portland started making and giving away hand
sanitizer in an acute shortage.
48. IN CLOSING
• We are all in this together
• Slow down, use time as a tool
• The only way out, is through
• Double down on humanity
• Be of service and support
