Micromitment 

A small, consistent action or decision that, repeated over time, leads to significant personal or leadership growth. Born from the idea that tiny commitments, when stacked up, can transform an individual or a team’s effectiveness, especially in challenging environments like Antarctica.

“Even in the harshest conditions of Antarctica, I found that making a single micromitment each day — whether it was writing in my journal or checking in with my team — helped me evolve into a more mindful and effective leader.”

Covidquence 

The long-term impact and fall-out of Covid-19 on life in general including social, economic, business, community, conflict, relationships and the future of modern health and geopolitical relationships.

Me: “What? Another tax in 2024?”.

Then: “Yeah, unfortunately that’s yet another Covidquence, we have to pay for this at some stage.”

Coronitics 

The politicisation of Covid-19 by governments, corporations and individuals who care more about themselves than they do about society.

I understand the evidence backed by medicine and science, but what I’m hearing at the moment sounds like pure Coronitics.

isotel

A hotel (or a specific section of a hotel) dedicated to accommodating people in self or mandated isolation during the existence of the Covid-19 pandemic.

See that hotel over there? That’s an isotel. It’s full of people isolating from Corona Virus.

vagendered 

The process leading to a male applicant being overlooked for employment or promotion in favour of a female applicant, under circumstances where the male applicant possess the same or greater skills, knowledge and experience.

When Jenny, the new CEO was appointed, Bill knew straight away that he had been vagendered.
