#5: Three Daily Practices to Thrive During Difficult Times

The Not Your Parents' Workplace Show with Nathan Tanner

I don't know about you, but for much of this COVID period, I've been in survival mode, learning on the fly how to cope with this new reality. But recently, I was challenged to look at things from a different perspective. Rather than merely survive during this period, what if it were possible to truly thrive? What if it were possible in one year to look back and say that we experienced more personal growth and were more productive during this time than any other in our career? Over the past few weeks, I've come to believe that, while difficult, holding a new perspective is possible. In this episode, I share 3 daily practices for thriving during COVID-19 and any other challenging period. 5 years ago I published Not Your Parents' Workplace. In the book, I wrote about the challenges I faced in 2008 when I had a front-row seat to the largest bankruptcy in US history. Given today's economic environment and career challenges, I'm kicking off a podcast where I'll share lessons I wrote about in the book as well as lessons I've learned since.
