What’s your remote day like? Do you:

• Work too much?

• Feel invisible now that you’re out of sight?

• Miss out on important conversations around the water cooler?

The Coronavirus in 2020 threw many people into remote work, whether you wanted to work from home or not. Many of you may be leading remote teams for the first time or facing the likelihood that things won’t be going back to the old way any time soon. You discovered some of the advantages, including flexibility, shorter commutes, and more family time.

But, you probably also discovered the downsides too. Once the honeymoon of working on the couch wears off, we face challenges like feeling invisible or isolated, having to develop new processes on the fly, trying to manage remote teams when you can’t see what they are doing, and navigating all of the distractions and time management drains that can happen when Netflix is just a click away. Then there is all of the advice on working remote that doesn’t quite fit your or your needs.
