NEW ORLEANS - April 21, 2020 - In his "Letter to the World: The Silver Lining to the Coronavirus," best-selling author, entrepreneur, and inspirational speaker, Mark S. Lewis shares seven realizations that will enable us to see the positive outcomes of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Referring it as "horrific", Lewis does not discount the toll of the coronavirus pandemic, but instead offers a "silver lining" to these difficult times. "It is important that we look for some good, no matter how small, in very bad situations; and be grateful for positive changes", he said. "I love seeing so many recent demonstrations of respect and appreciation for our health care workers, first responders, police officers and teachers. I think so many of us now understand our total dependence on these people, as well as the countless ways that we depend on farmers, and the transportation, travel, food service and technology industries. I love how many prominent individuals are donating to charities. I hope these efforts will continue and not end when this is over. This new awareness, appreciation and respect is one of the silver linings that I see in this coronavirus crisis."
Lewis suggests that the coronavirus has helped us to become more compassionate and empathetic citizens. The realizations from Covid-19 include understanding the value of setting aside time for the most basic and important things such as family, friends, giving, and sharing our talents and expertise and learning how to set aside our differences and prejudices in order to focus on what we can do to help others.
An inspiring business mentor, coach, consultant, and speaker, Lewis has facilitated and moderated CEO Round tables across Louisiana. Through his practical advice and positive message, he has helped hundreds of CEOs and individuals accelerate their growth. His winning philosophy, the "give a damn attitude", helps individuals and business create strategies that engage a positive cultural environment. Based on the idea that changing our mindset is necessary for society to prosper, Lewis' book, GIVE A DAMN, promotes traditional values such as accountability, altruism, and integrity as the foundations of moral prosperity.
