Psychologists refer to this as a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world. Some of you may be thinking... Will I have a job in six months? Will this pandemic go away? Will we have enough money? When will I have peace of mind again? What if my new boss and I don't get along? Will my kids be ok?
