When COVID first hit the US back in March 2020, many of the leaders and business owners I was working with were struggling to make sense of it all. And one of the things I helped them to focus on was self-care: the practice of taking care of themselves first in order to have the strength to support their employees who were struggling as well.

Personally, I have been practicing gratitude for over a year now and it has really helped during this very challenging year.
