EPISODE #10 – How to Manage a Crisis as a Team
Join me in welcoming my very first guest on the show, The Hubs! I asked him to join us today to talk about managing crisis as a team and to share his perspective which I think you will love.
In this episode we talk about how we are currently managing the corona virus situation and a crisis we went through a few years ago when we thought Hurricane Irma was going to hit Miami and how we prepared for that.
You will learn about
- Setting priorities and how useful it is to set those first so you have a guiding light to use when disagreements come up.
- The process we use to find consensus when we need to make decisions and how we separate the must haves from the nice-to-haves
- What we learned about detachment when we went through the Irma experience and how that serves us so much now
- Practical tips for what we are doing to keep our home as contamination free as possible
- How we are cultivating partnership during all the At Home Time we are having now
We also laugh a lot on this episode. Even as we talk about serious things, you will see how we bring humor into our communication and why it’s so important to give each other grace during stressful times.
