  1. That was a great talk. I would have loved to have attended live, so I could add some questions. There are many great leadership ideas. I appreciate the honesty in the idea that we need to expect a new normal. Communicating expectations honestly will allow people to move forward – instead of expending wasted energy trying to force things back into the old ways. It’s going to be tough for all of us to let go of the old habits/ notions.
