* Again, we are Servant Leaders and
put others first, but remember it is ok
to feel! We have all been through and
seen a lot over the past year and a half.
Expressing your feelings it not a sign of
weakness or poor leadership.
* Find your inner Zen. In sports we call
it going into your zone! Find whatever
it is that allows you to handle increased
stress, while still finding ways to stay
connected with others.
* Lastly, remember why you do what
you do! The challenges we face daily
at times feel like climbing Mt. Everest,
but the lives that you impact is what
makes it worth the climb. Remember
you are not making the journey
alone-continue recognizing those
around you for their dedication and
perseverance.
PREPARATION FOR THE
NEW NORMAL
The last 18 months have been challenging
for everyone due to COVID-19, staffing
challenges, food shortages, and caring
for our teams. The CDM, CFPP was an
important cog in the wheel during this
time as we were prepared not specifically
for the pandemic, but for whatever the
disaster scenario.
The " new normal " will cause us all to
think outside of the box regarding how
we operate daily. Things we did before
might not work now. After every major
storm the following day brings sunshine!
That is how we need to look at our new
reality - it's an opportunity to build even
better systems and best practices within
our communities. The best is yet to come!
I know many still face major staffing
challenges, but continue to persevere and
lead your teams. Remember we are all in
this together! E
