January - December 2020, What we experience

Summary 

We all start this year 2020 with great hope and excitement. A brand- new year, a new decade.2020. I remember at the first day of the year 2020, I went hiking. A hill that I never hike before to challenge myself to make it happen. Hiking up the stair case over 1500 steps while keep reminding myself one step at a time. I can make it happen.

The year started pretty smooth with a few speaking engagements on January. Here comes February and March, a big change on everything we normally do to a new normal. The world is facing the Covid-19 pandemic. I don’t know when you watch this video, as of now my recording is December 2020. This year has been very challenging for everyone of us, from our health, work, family and relationship.

Things that we normal so used to do no longer able to do, such as a simple handshake, a warm hug, a photo shoot session that everyone can cramp together, seminar rooms that fill with chairs side by side to no handshake, no hugs, chairs are putting at least one meter apart, everyone must put on the face mask while taking photos together.

For me the biggest change is I no longer able to stand on a stage to speak to the audience. My last speaking with a group is on 10 March 2020. Since then, all my speaking, workshops all have to carry out online. A lot of different things I pivot to move my business forward. Some ways are working, some ways not working. I believe you experience the same too. Tremendous change in your life.

This year my word for the year is challenge. While we experience the crisis and challenge, we know there are opportunities. Looking out for opportunities, maybe this is the turning point in your life. There is never a time we take so close look at our health, our freedom to move around, our connection and relationship with others. Let us learn from this pandemic, and we will get through this together.
