[1:26 – 1:36] A small percentage of leaders and organizations see this time as a time to innovate and change.

[1:40 – 1:50] An even smaller percentage recognize they will have to put in an effort to reconstruct the social and emotional health of the team after everything we’ve been through.

[2:06 – 2:27] There’s been an emphasis on business continuity and it’s working. People put their head down and really worked hard and sustained stress for a long period of time.

[3:34 – 3:46] People are quite heroic in crisis. It is after the crisis when things unravel, and that’s what we’re seeing now.

[10:18 – 10:22] People want to be intentional about how they design their lives.

[10:44 – 11:07] Some organizations will do well by this because they’re dialed in. They connect on a personal level.

[11:45 – 12:09] I had a conversation with a CEO who said as soon as COVID is over, they will mandate everybody come back. I said, ‘Did you hear that? That’s the sound of your competition doing a triple somersault off their desk because they’re going to be interested in your best employees!’

[14:46 – 14:52] Architecture firms are redesigning office space to foster innovation, creativity, connection.

[18:04 – 18:30] We spend billions on training and it is largely ineffective. It does not stick. Ask people what they remember about a program they liked a week later. and they will not be able to tell you specific things about it. And yet we keep throwing money at that process. We could do better.

[19:34 – 19:41] Coaching and spacing that experience over time and creating accountability where people are taking actions, you’d see real change.

[20:09 – 20:11] That’s when we started to create microlearning.

[20:32 – 20:37] Stories, people remember. You use stories to illustrate a point.
