5 Years After COVID — Leadership Lessons That Still Matter
It’s been five years since COVID-19 upended our lives, but its impact still shapes how we live and lead. For me, that lesson is personal.

Recovery took months, and while I was fortunate to survive, the aftermath lingered. I later sustained spinal and neck injuries from a car accident while returning from my first vaccination. Despite these setbacks, I know I was one of the lucky ones — too many others didn’t make it.
