As a native Californian, I grew up learning how to deal with the natural disasters that could strike our beautiful state. Whether it was earthquakes, floods, landslides, wildfires, or even droughts, we were taught to be prepared for anything that could disrupt our daily lives. Having lived through all of these disasters, I still find myself numbed by the images of devastation currently unfolding in Southern California. The mass destruction caused by Mother Nature is sobering, to say the least.
Moments like these give us pause to reflect on recovery. The first thing that comes to mind is the importance of community. Recovering from such calamities is nearly impossible to do alone. Relying on others for support becomes essential, reminding us that a strong community can make the difference between despair and hope. Business is no different when it comes to facing its own "natural disasters." We've already endured a global pandemic, market collapses, and skyrocketing inflation. Without a strong community to lean on, navigating these challenges becomes significantly harder. |
