Reassuring reads: COVID-19 and the future of work, how to stay productive, and more

To our GA community,

It goes without saying that these weeks have been wracked with uncertainty, confusion, and anxiety. Every hour and every minute, companies, governments, and individuals are learning new information, having new conversations, and making new decisions that are completely different from anything they've ever encountered before. Now, especially, is a time for creativity and an open mind.

Here are just a handful of the articles we’ve been sharing amongst ourselves at GA as we think about the current and future state of careers, work, and the skills that will build resiliency. We hope these bring you a measure of perspective and a reassurance that no one is in this alone.

Be well,
