IxDA NYC presents: Embracing Remote Leadership

The Agile Experience Design meetup has been a bit quiet as we're adjusting to this new COVID world, but our friends at the IxDA have organized a virtual event that looks awesome and we think is of interest to this group. Hope you all are doing well and keeping safe. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

It's a brave new world out there. The once emerging trend of distributed work has now become a universal phenomenon overnight. With it came a lot of questions about how we design, lead and influence the decisions that can make or break the quality of what's delivered. Are there things we could be doing to position ourselves for success?

How do we build influence when the normal ways of doing business are anything but business as usual?

We’ll cover these questions with some extraordinarily experienced Product & Design leaders. Our panelists are seasoned leaders with experience across different kinds of remote and in-person work cultures. Bring your thorniest questions for the group—they're eager to help.

### Topics include

• Adapting team rituals and building culture
• Navigating the environmental impacts to getting work done
• Establishing and maintaining executive influence
• Building your leadership presence at a distance
• Balancing engagement and accountability
• Supporting team members in this unique time
