As the crisis began to loom, our roles rapidly changed, our working environments were confined to a single space, social distancing and lockdowns were implemented, and we all simply had to adjust. It was not simple and it took some serious reorganization for it to fall into place. Some industries were directly affected and roles changed dramatically. Looking to learn from each other & inspire transformation, young professional leaders came together to reflect & depict our "new reality."
