A realistic process to grow in crises.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We can grow from crises or get stuck. You have heard it being said that – We are all in the same storm, facing it in different boats and often find ourselves in different parts of the storm. Some are in the eye of the storm while others are in the outer ring. Families, companies, teams and communities are all experiencing the storm from different boats and different angles. In the many (online) meetings we have with customers, they often ask us: \u201cIs there any process which can help us to get a realistic picture of the situation?\u201d So, we use now a process which can help to see where we are as a person, company, city or nation in this global crisis and to grow from it rather than become fearful. There is hope. Let’s go through the four phases together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

As the crisis hits you, you tend to go into the survival mode. The adrenaline kicks in and you go into: fight, flight or freeze. But this first phase is also a time of mourning. Because several things\/opportunities die. The old world stops suddenly and unexpectedly. And nobody has any clue what will happen next, how long this crisis will go, and what the impact will be.<\/p>\n

To do this surviving\u2013phase well, it would be great if your resilience has been build up strongly, before the crisis! That can only be a lesson for the future.<\/p>\n

Now, you and your organization, can only do much to build up a healthy \u201csurvival- rhythm\u201d, to handle this first phase of the crisis well.<\/p>\n
