Driving Optimism
Episode 5 = Silver Linings Playbook (Recap on the good of Covid)
The overarching point = Change is good. But yes, it doesnt always come easy.
“Change happens gradually, then suddenly” - Not our quote but great!
Change in Health Care System
Move to innovative public-private hybrid models
Individually - Private over public perception must change
Collectively - Making it effective immediately must be a focus for the change
Change in Economic System and Small Business support
Wages will rise - Bc labor market will shrink (contraction, automation, innovation)
Corporate Triple Bottom Line will matter for all consumers
Small Business - growing with support from local (even if change is price)
Change in Education - Always On Learning AOL!!!! (We didnt get to cover today)
Teachers will have new skills in digital (and new side hustles)
Hopefully also paid more, so dont need side hustles
Parents understand the value of teacher’s experience and their own time
Change in Workplace -
Physical, organizational and hierarchical changes in the workplace
More remote work is supported and smaller cities get bigger more dynamic dwellers
Shane cautions on not everything you can measure, matters - find the right metrics
Change in Families -
Its cool to be close again! Lets hope family bonding endures
Its ok to address issues directly and bravely - lets hope this continues too
Change in our Brains
We’ll leave you with a few quotes from a great read on how this chaos may be good for our cognitive agility and creativity. Could the pandemic be improving our brains? YES!
“Exposure to absurdity made people twice as insightful. “
“In normal times, when the things around us make sense, our brains work on default mode. “
