Hey Gang,

Our office got goat-bombed during the weekly all-hands today! Turns out Sweet Farm has been so overwhelmed by demand for Goat-to-Meeting that they are triaging requests to other farms. We met Nester, a rescue goat who lives at Full Circle Farm. His business plan for 2020 has not shifted – eat grass and hang out with alpacas.

News & Resources

• As mentioned last week, RRA’s CEO held a Zoom discussion with five heads of HR to talk about what they’ve learned and how they are thinking about reentry. You can listen to the replay here. I captured key takeaways in Friday’s Vital Signs.

Food Fight – send me yours!

Today’s winner is the creative and resourceful Paul Greenall, Chief Transformation Officer and Senior Partner at Prophet!

Chefs comments: “Individual dark chocolate French-style mini gateaux with Cointreau-laced ganache, and salted-butter dark chocolate and walnut quaranti-cookies. Had to barter from a distance and execute contact-free trades with neighbors to get all the ingredients, but baking day was worth it.”

A Little Levity

Be well,

Jackie
