Author, evangelist and CEO of Medigram, Sherri Douville recently joined me on the podcast.

Our world changed on March 16. With a shelter in place order looming and in the ninth week of our ten-week quarter, we sent all undergraduate students home. We built support systems to teach our instructors how to use distance learning platforms and worked with local service providers to ensure professors had access to their courses during peak online hours. We transitioned our workforce to home.
The first year in a new position is challenging. There’s always so much to learn – new places, people, processes and especially, culture. I’m no exception.
When my younger son was playing Little League, he played for a coach who had a great way of working with the kids. At the beginning of the year, he would explain that their goal was to get one percent better at each practice, and that by the end of the year they would be amazed to see their improvement over the course of the season. I loved that concept, and the more I thought about it, the more applicable I found it for me – both personally and as the leader of my organization.
Last week, I shared my perspective on a way to chart a course forward in a post-COVID world: Respond. Recover. Reinforce. Reimagine. Let me expand, and continue our call to step up, during an important leadership moment for us technology professionals.
