¿Who are you? ¿Who are you going to be when you take off the mask? ¿What have you learned in this period? Simple questions that have no longer a simple answer.

The other day, I met an extraordinary woman with whom we are exploring possibilities for alliance, and when she asked me who are you, I took a deep breath and hold a silence for a moment, since I am not longer the one who I was three months ago when the global pandemic situation started, so this turned into a conversation of who are we now and who we are going to be when this ends, if it ends; so I want to share with you some thoughts about this new future came out of this conversation.

We know rationally change is constant, skin regenerates, nails, hair, every cell in our body regenerates and we have new body every 3 months and new ways of being every 7 years, form childhood, to teenage, adulthood in different phases, and at the same time we are not conscious of this changes. In the organizational world, we are used to changes, new materials, new politics, new competitors, new industries, and at the same time we want to remain in the familiar, find our comfort some and rest into for a while.

We need to stop waiting for this to end and go back to normal, speaking as if are going back to old habits and ways of doing things are going to make us feel comfortable, peaceful or will work for being productive and happy and a “better world”, the “normal” way, as we use to call the old ways are not going to come back, it is impossible, the world has changed in some many different aspects: economically, socially, in our health, our wealth and our internal world, it is not possible to come back, not any more, our world is a new world. We have been for so many years looking for a new planet to build a new world, and now our world is a brand new world with so much already built, and the questions is ¿how are we going to inhabit it, build it, take care of it?
