As we’re heading into weeks 3, or 4 or even longer of the COVID pandemic, I’ve noticed my friends and clients show the strain of social and business isolation.

For the introverts amongst us, social isolation is less of a burden than it is for the extroverts. I’m happily ensconced behind my computer, working on the next version of one of my self-study courses. I sometimes feel I can go on like this indefinitely. But even as an introvert I’m feeling the need to connect and converse with humanity around me.

If you’re an extrovert, you feel that need even more. I see the symptoms of isolation in my extrovert friends, family and clients when I do connect with them. Depression is kicking in, you’re feeling lonely and unproductive — and there isn’t any light at the end of the tunnel — at least not yet.

So what can we do? How do we survive this? And is there opportunity to even learn and grow from the isolation?

The answer is yes. We can not only survive this, we can also learn, get better at some things and prepare our businesses for growth.

This is the COVID opportunity, and here are three things you can do to turn adversity into opportunity.
