I landed in La Guardia (NY) for the Quirks Brooklyn Conference on March 2. It was just after the 1<sup>st<\/sup> official case in NYC had been confirmed and I didn\u2019t think much of it at the time, I was focused on how our team would do at our event. The following week the coronavirus stated getting national and global attention and within 2 weeks after the conference the world changed.<\/p><p>Family first is my motto, so I wanted to make sure we were doing the right things at home. However, a part of me did want to travel for the success of our new US Sales team in the beginning stages of our existence. After Raj and I both agreed that no one should be traveling, it was time to focus on the health of my family AND a new strategy for how our team would persevere during COVID-19.<\/p><p>At the home front, I\u2019m blessed because we have a basement \u2013 so it allows me to separate from the rest of the family and to focus on Methodify opportunities. With the kids in \u2018virtual school\u2019, I do have concerns with all of the screen time but this is the new norm, and we have to accept it for right now. As a leader, I must be strong, supportive and optimistic for Brett and Victoria. I want to ensure we all stay on course because we have one goal in my mind and that is to have the US market better understand, \u201cWhy Methodify?\u201d<\/p><p>Personally, I think we\u2019re in a pinnacle moment for our team because in theory people should have the time to speak with us. Additionally, now is a great time for companies, departments, and teams to truly reflect on the future of their business and their research approach moving forward!<\/p><p>Normally, I would be traveling more for client opportunities and conferences \u2013 so above all else I\u2019m cherishing and truly appreciating the time with my family until we get through this pandemic.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-90b2119 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"90b2119\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ddb89c7\" data-id=\"ddb89c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca4cf13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca4cf13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Share Kwami's Story:<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d24f3a\" data-id=\"9d24f3a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dbcaaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-share-buttons\" data-id=\"0dbcaaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"share-buttons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 Staff Stories Back to COVID-19 Staff Stories My first true thoughts about the coronavirus happened when I landed in La Guardia (NY) for the Quirks Brooklyn Conference on March 2.
