Self-isolation and social distancing are vital in “flattening the curve” which has been made very clear by health professionals and authorities. Amidst everything that’s going on, not being able to see or hug our friends and family in person is a difficult part of self-isolation. Therefore, we must stay connected with friends, family and colleagues online as much as possible to show that we care and to support one another during these unprecedented times. 

There is a lot of uncertainty about the next few months but it’s important to ensure we’re prioritising out mental health and checking in on the ones we love. We’ve seen a number of our team members checking in with each other and we would encourage you to do the same!

It’s also important that we are staying home and staying safe but that doesn’t mean we can’t be productive! Here are a few things our teams are doing to connect, educate and improve themselves during self-isolation.

As you know our CEO Nick Cox and the team have been keeping us all updated on important news. We loved seeing Katrina multitasking and making her mum a birthday cake while watching our latest CEO Live Stream.

Katrina has been learning with Life Saving Victoria’s professional development series and said this on LinkedIn, “A fantastic morning of learning today with Life Saving Victoria’s professional development series and then straight into Belgravia Leisure’s CEO Q&A, all whilst baking a birthday cake. Thanks so much to these organisations for keeping us connected with the industry and outside world and providing a bit of normality in these testing times.”

Liz’s first kiss

The marketing team has been holding weekly catch-ups where they bring a beverage and learn more about each other. Last week they shared stories from their childhood and apparently Liz has been a bit of a superstar creator since she was a child, winning Agro’s Cartoon Connection competition and getting her first kiss in the same year! Can you guess who is who above?
