Tips and lessons to help navigate the crisis

The coronavirus crisis has likely changed how you work, learn, and live. You might now be taking courses online, or trying to adapt to working from home. Perhaps you’re on the job hunt, or researching new ways to upskill. No matter your situation, RICS Online wants to help you navigate the uncertainty.

If there is one, clear truth that has emerged from the Coronavirus pandemic, is perhaps the fact that we need to value our planet. Centuries of plundering the earth’s resources, at will for their own profit,has made humans forget that nature has her own way of getting back. The tsunamis, earthquakes and epidemics that have wiped off millions from time to time, are lessons that we have forgotten. Invention and innovation have come to our rescue and wiped the slate clean off the bad memories, making us ready to commit ‘the sins of the past’ again.

Cocooned in the comfort of our existence, nothing could have prepared us for the Coronavirus pandemic. The virus has impacted 213 countries around the world, and shows no signs of slowing down. Even in countries where it was successfully contained, it came back and experts have predicted that there might be multiple waves on the way, ready to rock economies all over the world, yet again.

However, “this too shall pass”. To give up and not try, is against the human spirit. Learning and applying that knowledge is what has made the evolution of mankind possible, to the extent that it has. No time like the present to turn your challenges into opportunities for self-growth and self – assessment through online learning.
