The reality is that 2020 was an exceptionally challenging year for businesses and agencies of all kinds — and we enter 2021 with no certain idea of what challenges the new year will bring. 

However, attempting to rush out of the discomfort we have felt through the last year can cause us to miss the important lessons the challenges we tackled can teach us. Instead, it is important to reflect, learn, and develop resilience to help us prepare for the coming year. 

In this episode of Onward Nation, encore guest Anese Cavanaugh shares how she and her team learned to develop resilience, and how doubling down on their efforts to be helpful are better positioning them for 2021.

What you’ll learn in this episode is about how to develop resilience:

• How the chaos of 2020 impacted Anese and her team, and how they learned to develop resilience and were able to pivot the business to adjust to change
• What important lessons Anese has learned from navigating the unprecedented challenges of the past year, and why she believes the work is never “done”
• What steps you can take to help your team develop resilience and adapt to the challenges you are facing
• How to develop resilience and how to overcome challenges.
• Why Anese challenged herself and her team to decide who they want to become in the new year, and why part of Anese’s resilience is in how she wants the pandemic to “serve her becoming”
• Why the pandemic has created a universal shared experience and an opportunity for all of us to consider who we want to become as we navigate these challenges
• How Anese and her team spent three months in spring 2020 doubling down on their efforts to be helpful, and how that helped create clarity for the rest of the year and 2021
• Why Anese believes being “responsible” and being “response-able” are two very different things with different kinds of energy
• How D.E.N.T. (Do what you can, Engage with a full heart, Now, Trust) is a powerful acronym that helps guide and motivate Anese
• How Anese and her team use D.E.N.T. to make an impact on the struggle of food insecurity that many people face
• How Anese realized that decreasing their prices during the pandemic wasn’t the right move to make, and how instead she focused on adding value and being helpful
• Why it is important to not rush out of your discomfort but instead to fully experience your discomfort and the range of feelings that come with it
