We are living through unprecedented and hard times.

Most of us are experiencing a Coronavirus lockdown. We were not prepared for this and we feel like fish that fell out of water.

We are currently living in a VUCA world — a world of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

Think about the power of the Coronavirus for one second. It is so small that it is not even visible to the eye. However, it has brought the world to a standstill. The Butterfly Effect of the Coronavirus has led to the crashing of global markets, a global economic crisis, the shutting down of schools, universities, restaurants, and the cancellation of almost all public gatherings worldwide.

We are also facing more systemic changes in our ways of life. Everything is in flux right now. regarding how we work, live, learn, entertain, consume, interact, and contribute.
