A great piece from Green Stone team member Ariana de Ryss on her approach to being a digital nomad. Worth the read if you have any aspirations to break free of the office and work from the road - medium.com/@ariana.der/10…

#RemoteTip 1 - REINFORCE THE “WHY” When social lives don't revolve around coworkers, it’s even more critical that there is an honest and powerful mission that unites everyone in purpose, regardless of wherever we all open our laptops. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 2 - RECORD YOUR MEETINGS A benefit of meeting over video chat vs. meeting in person is the ability to record and transcribe them both for those who were not able to attend as well as for long term records and fact-checking. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 3 - INVEST IN A SPEAKER SERIES Distributed workforces make inspirational speakers a whole lot easier when there is no travel involved for the guest. Take advantage and set some strong ones up over video chat. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 4 - INSIST EVERYONE TURNS ON CAMERAS Teams need to not just hear each other but also see each other. Seeing facial cues also helps reduce people talking over and the awkwardness that comes with that. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 5 - SHARE A DELIVERY CHANNEL Share across teams by starting a slack channel where everybody posts their latest deliveries, presentations, launches, etc, so everyone can stay in the loop on ongoing projects across the org. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 6 - CELEBRATE PLACES AS MUCH AS PEOPLE When distributed, employees don’t just bring new skills but also new perspectives from their towns. Sue AND Detroit joined. Jeremy AND the Hudson Valley joined. Value & celebrate both. #WFHtips #RemoteWorking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 7 - START CULTURAL SLACK CHANNELS Empower and encourage employees to start Slack channels on topics that they are interested in. Parenting, Hockey, Art, Music, and more. Those watercooler chats should continue online. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 8 - KNOW WHEN TO STOP SLACKIN It’s easy to forget Slack is not the only way to chat. Some situations are better handled via phone calls, text messages, emails, letters, a picture, in-persons and beyond. Those still exist! #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 9 - MEET THE FAMILIES Let’s not pretend that many of us are not constantly fighting to keep children out of our videos. Defuse the situation by bringing both employees and their families closer together through family Zooms #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 10 - ENGAGE YOUR HUMAN CLOUD Connect not just with current employees, but also the recruits, alumni, clients, freelancers and others who want to see you succeed as well. They’re not all in your office, but they are online. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 11 - “GO” TO WORK Try to have a clear mental or behavioral switch between work time vs home time. Some dress differently. Some walk around the block. Some turn on work tunes. Some do other things. What's yours? #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 11 - INSIST ON PROFILE PICTURES Upload profile pictures to every platform that allows them so you’re seeing teammates' faces everywhere, and not just on video chats. Remind people there are human beings behind those posts. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

#RemoteTip 15 - BOND THROUGH PICTURES Reinforce culture through Slack channels dedicated to sharing non-work related pictures celebrating the separate worlds we are all living in. #WFHtips #remoteworking #DistributedByDesign

There are very few words to adequately describe the life and career of Doc Emrick, so let's let his own words carry the day as he announces his retirement. From all of us, #ThankYouDoc.

It's not that Hybrid can't work, but I'd offer there is a smarter path for many firms. If you have a few, give my latest article a read and let me know if you have any feedback, ideas, or concerns. I'd love to hear them all. inc.com/matt-walsh/why…
