Global Mentor Network Launches Series of Live Online Q&A Sessions to Help Organizations and Families Cope with COVID-19

COVID-19 has thrown organizations and families into turmoil. In response, the Global Mentor Network (GMN.net), is launching a series of free, live, online Q&A sessions, called "Ask a Mentor LIVE" where "virtual mentors" offer advice to leaders and parents struggling to guide their organizations and families through the coronavirus pandemic.

This week, (Wednesday, April 1 at 1:00 pm Pacific time) Stan McChrystal, U.S. Army General (ret.) and founder and CEO of the McChrystal Group, and Chris Fussell, former Navy SEAL and president of the McChrystal Group will join Thuy Vu, seven-time Emmy winner, recipient of the prestigious Edward R. Murrow award and president of Global Mentor Network, for a live, online Q&A about how leaders can adapt to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 outbreak.

McChrystal is the former commander of U.S. and International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) Afghanistan and the former commander of the nation's premier military counter-terrorism force, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). McChrystal founded the McChrystal Group in January 2011 to deliver innovative leadership solutions to businesses globally in order to help them transform and succeed in challenging, dynamic environments.

According to McChrystal, "The current pandemic is putting institutions, organizations and individuals under tremendous stress. That stress will undeniably intensify in the days and weeks ahead. Now, more than ever, leaders in business, government, and throughout our communities need to step up to the challenge to give others a sense of community, of connectedness, and of purpose, to weather this incredible storm."

"Great leadership can make a great difference," said Thuy Vu. "This is why we've launched our Ask a Mentor LIVE series. We're committed to transferring the skills and experience of top leaders to everyone who can help make a positive impact in the current crisis, and beyond. It's our hope that insights passed along during our free sessions will help organizations, families and individuals deal more effectively with the outbreak and improve outcomes for all."
