Happy New Year 2021 to you and your families; I wish you and your family peace and joy in the year 2021. We have passed this year, and I want to start this session with the quote,
“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. – Zig Ziglar”
This year, it is essential to get organized, set goals, and make plans. it will be an open talk to start the year and what we have done with compare to last year goals, which we have set it up during the year 2020 “Seeing clearly in 2020 and Top-Ranked learning courses that will prepare you for future.”
How COVID-19 has changed everything for all of us, and I am praying and hoping that we will get to normal and the most valuable lesson of 2020 is a world can change in a week.
We need to consider what are the reasons for you and everyone to set goals and get organized. You can name it what the drivers for action. It can be categories into three areas:
Drivers for Action:
- Beliefs – core values
- Motives – to maintain
- Triggers – to initiate
These three results in “drivers for Actions” which leads to build habits
Now, as Seth Godin wrote in his blog. A simple 2 x 2 for choices a 2×2 grid
And the most important thing is building Resilience, in every area of human life, with the economic, personal, and professional challenges we have all faced during 2020. It is time to think about Resilience and work on it.
What is Resilience?
According to American Psychological Association, Resilience is the capability to acclimate to life’s hardships and recover from trauma and problem. It supports us to rebound from the setbacks and challenges, for example, a job loss, a severe illness, a natural tragedy, or the death of a loved one.
What Resilience isn’t
The critical difference or point to remember, Resilience won’t make your problems go away or protect you from trauma; you have to face the hardships. However, it will give you the power to manage stress and keep working, physically and psychologically. Resilience varies from people to people; some people may be more resilient than others; you can learn how to be Resilient; it is an achievable quality. We all can discover behaviors and develop ways of thinking and acting that allow us to become more resilient.
When we talk about resiliency in business, or my area of passion like business transformation, which enabled us to live and sail through the last year of COVID-19.
We have covered few actions like 90 days plan to make it happen in our earlier podcast 74, Digital Transformation during and Post COVID-19 in podcast 65, COVID-19 Pandemic and acceleration of Digital Transformation, and how IT leaders can manage and cope with business continuity in podcast no 64 “Coronavirus Outbreak: Business continuity & IT Leaders priorities”
