The new normal — Alicia McKay NZ

Written by Alicia McKay | Mar 24, 2020 11:00:00 AM

We're hearing the phrase “new normal” a lot this week. 

That’s a funny one isn’t it. I’ve never been much of a fan of normal… but this week, I get it. Give us something to grab onto, that we can understand. We need some certainty and direction to cling to, when there’s so much on shaky ground. 

There's a great line in Greg McKeown's Essentialism:, where he says “You cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything." This has never felt truer this week.

But the things that matter right now... they really matter.

In yesterday’s awesome webinar, we talked about agency – how to own and embrace the things we can choose to do and learn.

For me, this has meant getting really clear on what, from a work perspective, we can do to serve others. Above is our priority list, showing what our new normal  will be for the next 6 weeks at Alicia McKay NZ.

What would yours look like? How do you decide what matters most, and focus on that?

For the next six weeks, I'll be running a conversation space every Monday afternoon, to talk about grappling with strategy and change at a time of unprecedented disruption..

This week, we're going to talk about how to get focused on what really matters, as we come to grips with a new normal.

I'd love you to join us.
