"With everything that is going on in the world at the moment, I am going to make a conscious effort to refocus my energy on surrounding myself with positivity, love and support in both my personal and professional relationships.Hayley PapiccioArea Business Manager - WA "Crisis has two meanings: danger and opportunity." "Being optimistic by nature, I see the current situation as an opportunity to reset and realize what is truly important to us in our life. In my case, it's been my family. This lockdown has allowed me to spend more time with my loved ones and realize that they are with you along the way, no matter what. I'm making sure we keep the good habits we've created in isolation. When it comes to work, new technology, flexibility and communication have been part of our success and I want to capitalize on this for the future. I am confident we can still work hard without sacrificing what is important to us."Alexandre DogueArea Business Manager - VIC “Having a bit more time out of the workplace has allowed me the time and (mental) space to improve certain habits and help form better ones. I’ve been able to more properly try out and refine diets, meal plans, exercise routines, work styles, and work locations amongst others to try and make my life just that little bit more efficient and enjoyable.”John GutierrezStyle Consultant - Westfield Chermside, QLD "And just like that, we couldn't visit our family and friends overseas whenever we wanted. As anxiety-inducing as this can be, I have made more time to reach out and connect via Zoom and FaceTime having more catchup calls over the last few months than in the past year... so many laughs too, it's been great! A good reminder to be sure to make the most of every day and every opportunity as we don't know what tomorrow may hold." Kerri MackArea Business Manager - SA "My new ways are always based on how I am in life: Putting everything in perspective; figuring out 'What is the goal?'; using the tools that life has given me to share my knowledge to assist others & myself in reaching our goals together. We are living in life-changing times. We are only going to get through it by sharing with and especially listening to each other. Knowledge is Power, but Empathy is The All-Mighty."Alberto Milles Business Manager - Chifley Plaza, NSW "I will try to be more present, in the moment. Pre-COVID I had my whole year planned. If it has thought me anything it's to take one day at a time."Siobhan Collins Business Manager - Brisbane Wintergarden, QLD "COVID was a period of deep reflection, and I, for one, began to enjoy the time at home. In a crazy fast-paced world, it gave us time to stop and start enjoying the little things in life. It reminded me of how important time with the people you love is. Time with partners, family and friends. As we start-up again, I hope that COVID brings a renewed focus on what matters most, that is, simply spending more time with yourself and with those closest to you."Frank PainoBusiness Manager - Pacific Fair, QLD "My words for everyone who needs to feel motivated: Let this year -2020- be a learning curve in our life's trajectory. A year in which we reset our priorities in life, our health, family, and personal care should always be at the topmost position among our priorities. We must practice equality in thought, word and action without biased towards any community, religion, or skin colour. We must follow our principles in life and stay committed to them. Our lives must be a testament to continuous learning, and we must take utmost care of this planet if we want future generations here."Sarah PaineArea Business Manager - ACT
