Is it time to pitch your business? Maybe not…

My daily life in Italy couldn't be in greater contrast to the reality that continues to unfold further north in this country.

As countries continue to struggle with the spread of COVID-19, it’s a brave person who would design a future business for a New Normal just yet.

Martina was interviewed on 24 March 2020 on her experiences in lockdown in Italy.

While we spend time questioning, we are missing opportunities to lead.

I remember about 2-3 weeks into this strange journey of reshaping my sense of reality, then reshaping it all again, then again, then again, I had a moment.

Yesterday I chatted with my Dad on FaceTime. He's 84 now.

Life is changing fast, and I share these stories from Italy not just to acknowledge what is happening here, but to offer a glimpse of the road that lays ahead for others.

Italy's death toll surpasses China. Morgues have run out of space. We have all been standing still in Italy, hoping our inaction will make a difference.

Do our cultural differences divide us or unite us? The lockdowns around the world seem to be bringing out our universal neighbourly love.

When an experience is global, there’s no running away from it. We trusted our path and found the prefect lockdown location in Italy’s hidden valley.

I know why people fall for the trap of panic-buying. The chorus of fear voices all raised together drowns out the truth.
