WFH: Is the magic gone?

September 25, 2020

Our phones are ringing with queries about managing a remote workforce - and more recently, managing a hybrid of remote and 'in the workspace' employees.

We've been presenting on these same challenges weekly. Next Wednesday (September 30) I will be speaking at a free business leaders webinar sponsored by one of our strategic partners, SKC & C0. CPAs (see below to register).

Yesterday I presented with a focus on the introvert, and the following week Annette Matheney is speaking to a group in Michigan on the same topic. One silver lining in remote work – present anywhere without travel time!

Here's an interesting read:

Missing Spark: When Everybody's Working at Home and the Magic is Gone

While many aspects of work can be replicated - or at least adequately covered - by at-home workers, there are others that cannot.

We have an extensive set of resources in the Crothers toolbox - we can help you customize a plan to hold onto that magic, and set you on a course to finish 2020 strong, with a plan to thrive in 2021.

That plan might include organization-wide change management or improved communication building; up-training your managers on key skills like delegation, holding effective meetings and conducting difficult conversations remotely; or individual training and coaching - all available via interactive Zoom. We customize the experiential part of the learning to your organization.

We like to remind ourselves that this challenging time is an opportunity to rethink people, processes and plans - while some may return to 'business as usual', others of us may evolve to a whole new way of operating that better meets the needs of customers and employees alike.

We are here to help and support you! Check out our list of training topics, and

take us up on our offer of a complimentary, 30 minute call.

Leading Through Challenging Times and Remote Environments

A Virtual Small Business Forum

offered by SKC & Co., CPAs

Wednesday, September 30 at 9:00 a.m.

a free webinar

Laura will be joined by Sarah Krom, Managing Partner of SKC & Co., CPAs, and

Casey Gocel, an attorney with Mandelbaum Salsburg.

We, as business owners and leaders, are finding ourselves working more

and more in a virtual environment. Since the physical boundaries between work and personal life are blurred, it can be difficult to manage both worlds.

Whether we are helping our children with virtual classroom learning,

or managing our staff and/or customers remotely, setting boundaries

can help us reduce stress and be more effective.

We are so grateful when an opportunity comes to us, to share our knowledge with others on this journey. We're all in this together, learning and leading.

Stay safe and continue to lead courageously,

Laura
