10 Important Reminders as We Reopen and Return to Work

1. We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behavior (look for their intention)

2. Context is sometimes more important than Content

3. Foster open communication to reduce the “Meetings after the Meetings”

4. Don’t use the word, “Why” – we want people to explain themselves, not justify themselves

5. Give people an opportunity to reflect on issues and then return for decisions

6. Breathe and experience increased levels of patience

7. Share a meal together and socialize

8. Consider a collaborative, reflective exercise on “Lessons Learned from Covid”

9. Give people an open and also an anonymous place to be heard

10. Nutrition, sleep, exercise, meditation…we all need to find more balance before walking in!
