By Tibor Shanto. “Starve your distractions, feed your focus.” — Daniel Goleman. I had to sit back and think hard about how to jump into the stream of pundit babble about COVID 19. We must acknowledge the reality of the event, and the impact on our families, friends, colleagues, clients, employees and the business.

Some external force provides a call to adventure, and our protagonist is compelled to act.
