It hasn’t even been a year. Suck it up. I’ve read two books about two different people being stranded at sea for as long as we’ve been quarantining. Neither mentioned any fear about not being able to talk to other people. They didn’t miss a beat. Both we’re finall rescued or found land and just used their words like normal. We’re soft these days, soft I tell you.

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions).
