A Message From Our President
In writing my final newsletter, it’s hard to believe a year has already passed since I was inducted – yet so much has happened in the world, it is hard to believe it has only been one year.
Trust the Process
Our biggest lesson for KDM was to trust the process, no matter where it leads and trust the team you put in place because you chose them for a reason. My team has been very helpful and responsive to the needs of the KDM staff to help them through this transition.
We are reopening in two phases. The first phase will not entail those with children or those that are high risk. Phase 1 staff will also only be in the office 50% of the time. Phase 2 will be determined as we see how the pandemic subsides.
A “Brick and Click” Store
As an optometrist with an eye care clinic and an eyewear boutique, my biggest lesson during this pandemic was discovering how to quickly shift from a substantial brick and mortar to the newer “brick and click” model. Retail brick and mortar stores like mine are finding ways to change the way they do business. From telemedicine to shipping contact lenses to your door, this pandemic has taught me new and creative ways to do business and find other revenue sources to stay afloat.
