Upcoming ZOOM Meeting
FRIDAY, June 26, 2020
Opening Discussion Topic:
Back To Work: How?
We are beginning to put the worst of the unforgettable Spring 2020 behind us, we hope. To deal with the emerging “new normal,” the Harvard Business Review recently published a special issue entitled How to Lead in a Time of Crisis: Lessons from Some of the Most Difficult Challenges We’ve Faced. It includes such articles as, “Leading, Not Managing in a Crisis,” “Managing When The Future Is Unclear,” and “Seize Advantage in a Downturn.” Bloomberg News has given us “The Office You Left Is Not Going to Be the Office You Return To: Goodbye, Hello, masks, temperature checks [and social distancing, etc.].” We’ll use some of these as discussion topics.
We’ll also briefly review “Returning to Work After the COVID-19 Pandemic: HR Checklist.” You can download it ahead of time here.
So after a brief presentation, regarding the above, our Discussion will focus on: “What’s Working for You,” relative to:
- Resetting workspaces & new COVID-19 HR Checklists
- Perks for remote workers [& perks for “in-office” workers?]
- Managing when the future is unclear
- Seizing advantage in this time of transition
- Leading your organization, going forward
As always, we’ll look to hear and discuss, “What’s Keeping You Up Nights?”
We’ll also serve as Strategic Advisory Board Members to Ali Payani, as he makes his Featured Member Presentation. Ali is Co-Founder and CEO of LookinLA, a leading digital marketing agency recognized by both Clutch and UpCity as one of the best marketing firms in Los Angeles.

"I probably would have to pay 16 consultants to get the kind of great information I get from the Round Tables and the people in my group."
"ABL has been a great pay-off for me and I have found great value. It has brought me help in financing the company, resolving financial issues, and customer problems. And it’s served for personal growth, too."
"The big thing that ABL provides to us is that it’s companies of like interests, as opposed to other types of groups that have CEOs with maybe very divergent interests."
"The best thing for me about ABL are the great people in the Organization. It’s a caring group of people, they are very open in sharing their own problems, and that leads to an environment where you can share your problems back. And they’re non-judgmental. They’ll give you the best advise they can. You can take it or not."
