I work in an industry where client coaching and teaching is critical to success. It’s amazing how much impact a 30 minute face to face has compared with the same (or far more) time via video chat or phone.

Offline, unplanned conversations often yield incredible insights. I have the option to work from home on Friday’s, but find being present with others gives me a far better understanding of what’s happening in our office.

Remote work works in a lot of contexts. And in many it doesn’t.
