How are you staying positive during the coronavirus crisis?

“This could be an opportunity to fortify the foundation of your business relationships by communicating well and getting creative with service.”

“At MPI Iberian we have been organizing the second edition of the MPI Iberian Awards. After the outbreak of COVID-19 we decided to stand up and give a positive message to our peers. Recognizing their leadership, CSR practices or the way they contribute to shattering the glass ceiling is a great way to keep spirits up. We received more than 30 applications to the different categories and are quite satisfied. Reaching each nominee and telling them some colleague has thought of them as one of the best MICE leaders makes their and our day!”

“Understand: This too shall pass; while cliché, we need to hear that trouble doesn’t last. Cherish: Time to prioritize what truly matters most—you, your family and your friends. Breathe/Meditate/Pray: Whatever your beliefs may be, take moments to be still and submit to one or all of these practices. Move: Take a walk or run every morning; clear a space in your home and start perfecting your yoga poses. Create: If everything was right in the world, where would you be? What would you be doing?”

“In times when fear can run rampant and infect us (like...a virus), perspective is key. I like to return to gratitude with a shift of focus back to all that is good in my world—my amazing kids, the freedom I have to bob and weave as an entrepreneur, warm friendships that will last through a few months of minimal contact because of the work we’ve done to build the foundation. It’s the same in business. This could be an opportunity to fortify the foundation of your business relationships by communicating well and getting creative with service.”
