“The Support2Support program was a unique opportunity to come together with other CEOs and executive directors at a time when everybody was trying to figure out how to live in the world of COVID. We had webinar sessions to talk about things like uncertainty, stress management, and resilience.

To see other people on the screen showing up to have these conversations was vital for so many reasons. Part of it was knowing I’m not doing this all by myself. There were 10 or 12 other faces on the screen. That made me feel like ‘you’re not [doing this] alone, you’ve got a group of people that you can either talk to right here in the moment or you can follow-up with after
