EO Melbourne September 2020 Chapter News

Dear ,

How are you doing? Are you okay?

As a fellow Melburnian & Victorian, I know better to bring up yet another reminder of the unique situation we’re finding ourselves in.

What I do want to remind you about is that, as the leaders in our companies, the amount of responsibility and pressure we have on our shoulders is incredibly unique. We have to deal with making tough decisions on a daily basis. We have to constantly think about the future and how we can survive & thrive. We have to come up with a plan C, D, E and F.

Our businesses are very much like ships at sea. We are the captains that have to navigate the rough stormy seas and ensure our vessels reach its destination, whilst keeping our crew safe.

(READ the full President's Update here.)

I want to take this opportunity to ask you, R U OK? Email me, let me know.

Book in a session with our Resident Psychologist, Katerina, for a chat. (Her contact details are found below at the Resources Section.)

Check-in on your forum buddies individually. Reach out, open up, lend an ear.

Warmest regards,
