In the Time of Uncertainty, I Offer You Little, Yet My Best

In the last few weeks, our fight against COVID-19 has taken our country and our world by storm and thrust us into a sea of uncertainty. In the midst of this storm, I appreciate my LinkedIn network community as a source of advice, encouragement, motivation, positivity and leadership lessons. 

It has taken me a while to write since our last post because I honestly struggled with what I could possibly share that our network and media have not already shared. 

If you are a leader and/or business owner, know that I admire you for the sheer responsibilities that you are carrying on your shoulders right now. The tough decisions that demand your attention that impact people’s livelihood, health, and safety far exceeded our normal day to day conversations about employee engagement and fulfillment. In this tough time, we are called to leadership qualities such as vulnerability, courage, transparency, and authenticity.  

“Our hard times produce in us perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope. ”

While you are in the midst of this journey, what little I can offer, is indeed the best I can offer: consider where the source of your strengths and wisdom are coming from. Remember that while we are afflicted in every way, we’re not crushed; perplexed but not driven to despair (2 Corinthians 4:8); but to know with full confidence that our hard times produce perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope (Romans 5:3-4); and character is the substance that great leadership is made of. 

In an environment where the uncontrollable is mounting, I dare to let go and know that God is faithful. Be blessed and be well, my friends. Please know that I am praying for you, your business, and your family.
