Zedu Weekly Wrap - 21 January 2022

Week two back and we’re in code brown…

which seems to have taken nobody – but the politicians – by surprise. Everyone at ZeduHQ has been shaking their heads.

We’re witnessing the effects in our local community, with a non-lockdown lockdown of sorts with people staying off the streets. We’re still able to provide our world leading style of ultrasound training, maintaining our tracing, cleaning, ventilation and masking protocols to ensure we’re doing everything we can to reduce exposure risk.

And don’t forget that our covid-19 policy is still in place. If you need assistance please get in touch. We’re doing our best to support you as you have us. Sticking together and doing what’s right is what we’re about – maybe we should go into politics…

See you next week.

Mike and Suean

P.S. – The February Coaching Corner is nearly here. While you’re waiting why not review the back catalogue here.
