Hello,
March brings the good news of expanded vaccination, and with it, a reminder that situations can change, and so can we.
This is a good time to remind yourself of the strengths and interests you have used throughout the past year. You might want to take the Agile Work Profiler again to see if your top Agilities have shifted as you have used new skills.
The silver lining of a crisis is that it can accelerate our self-awareness and clarify our priorities. You’ve made it through a year of crisis, now enjoy those hard-earned new strengths.
