Business Post-Covid: Remain Positive, React Accordingly and We are Usually Successful
The media reports constant gloom and we know that shutting sections of the economy such as leisure and travel is going to have a significant long-term shock. However, the history of the economy proves that there are reasons to be cheerful, and the road we must travel is not so scary as we may think.
In this webinar we will look at the latest trends and post-Covid-19 valuation methods. Talks about identifying the right deals for both buyers and sellers, deal structures, finance and securing equity investment, together with increasing shareholder value.
Understanding the Negativity Bias
This is about perspective. We need to remember as leaders the media is biased towards bad news, which is proven to sell more. Psychologists call this the “negativity bias” which is our collective hunger to hear and remember bad news. This is a survival instinct as we look for signals that we need to change what we are doing to avoid danger.
As leaders, if we recognise this, we can look for and pay more attention to the good news. Entrepreneurs tend to be optimists so most of our clients in recent discussions are actually very focused and positive about how they can react effectively and look for opportunities. They do not know the exact path to thrive. Yet they are determined and imaginative.
