Title: Collaborating remotely

Humans that are connected together do better work together. Building an effective culture and genuine human connection does not require a push back to the office. In hybrid, remote and distributed teams, we just need to employ different strategies and practices to build the culture that helps teams get more done, and have more fun with work.

Title:
Unleashing a team: Pitfalls and joys

Description
What does it take for a group of people to come together behind a shared goal with energy and motivation? I’ll discuss the common traps that leaders face when being accountable for business goals. Balancing the close proximity required to drive and keeping at a distance to enable others is not always easy but comes with big rewards.
