1517 hosted a workshop on how to best work from home with Lisette Sutherland. She is the director of Collaboration Superpowers, a company that helps people work together from anywhere through online and in-person workshops. She also produces a weekly podcast featuring interviews with remote working experts highlighting the challenges and successes of working with virtual teams.

Lisette’s tips were incredibly helpful, very thoughtful, and novel. Working from home and remote video meetings need to be treated as their own art form. You can’t just take a regular meeting, put it online, and expect in-person results.

She tells us how to make online meetings engaging, fun, and how to set the right tone and mood. Check out her super kit to get started with some actionable tools.

Lead a happy, healthy, and productive work from home life. Watch her presentation and Q/A in this Zoom link. We learned a lot and feel reinvigorated that online meetings could maybe even become better than in person with the right mindset and tools.
