Transitioning to Remote Work Webinars

In April I hosted on Transitioning to Remote Work: For Teams and Entrepreneurs.

Many companies have asked their employees to work from home starting immediately, while some are slowly but surely adopting remote work as a new option. If working remotely is new for you, check out my blog article Transitioning to Remote Work and get all the tips I share on my webinar, plus a recording!

As someone who has worked from my home office in East San Jose since 2013, and adopted work-from-home policies with my teams since 2010, I understand the complexities of transitioning self and teams to a new standard of work, accountability, and communications.
