It’s 2022 and we thought the long-awaited reopening was finally here. But then, wham. Omicron arrived on the scene. The pandemic sometimes seems like a never-ending story of dashed hopes. Yet, you don’t get to sit this one out. Businesses continue to transform, you must continue to lead your people, and the world doesn’t stop just because you’re tired. And we know you’re tired. This session covers how to continue your digital acceleration while keeping your people – and yourself – safe and whole. It’s a tightrope walk out there.
