A few years ago, I was in a 1:1 coaching session with a very bright young woman. Let’s call her Jane.

Jane came to our session with a very specific communication problem; she felt she lacked “presence” in the room. I could see where she was coming from, because everything from her small voice, to the way she made every statement sound like a question, signaled “nice,” but also “small.”

It reminds me of that Chinese curse, "May you live in interesting times." By the way, I looked that up and it's only rumored to be a Chinese curse. It's up for debate where that phrase actually comes from. It seems, like all things these days, origin stories are really difficult to verify.

Remember that movie from the 90’s, The Sixth Sense

Bruce Willis played a child psychologist—Dr. Malcom Crowe—who takes on a new client. A boy named Cole, who comes to see him because he sees “dead people.”

At some point in the not too distant future, people will struggle to remember what life with COVID-19 was like.

According to the CDC, about 500 million people became infected with the Spanish flu, around 100 years ago. The death count was at least 50 million people worldwide, with about 675,000 of those deaths happening in the United States. But, until March of this year, most of us were hard-pressed to remember anything about the Spanish flu.
