Lisa Arledge Powell started to journal at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic to track her learnings and leadership at this trying time.
She ended up with quite a story.
The president of MediaSource, a Columbus-based communications agency, didn’t just have to figure out how to best serve the company’s clients, she had to do so while having the coronavirus herself.
Both Arledge Powell and her son were diagnosed in March.
She talked with Columbus Business First about that personal experience and about the virus’ impact on the company she runs. It just so happens that a large portion of MediaSource’s clients are hospital systems, both in Central Ohio and elsewhere. That’s created new demands for the business and resulted in shifting around staff duties.
