Lori is just as sharp and insightful as I remembered from our first chat, and we had another excellent talk in today's episode. We focused a great deal on the lessons and skills we've all learned through the pandemic, and how important it is to use our newfound insights to shine a light on all the reasons why certain ways of working are still massively important. The connection and creativity of in-person work, the camaraderie that comes from sharing space together, and making sure that we don't "throw the baby out with the bathwater" as we negotiate the different strengths and weaknesses of remote and in-person work. I almost let Lori go after that conversation...but then I thought of another question I wanted to hear her take on. And she sure didn't disappoint! Lori and I went on to discuss the power of "structured communication", and how our systems for working together as teams (meetings, standups, agendas, tasking out, recording results, reviews, etc.) allow for everyone to bring their best work to the table, and keep your business "running on rails". In case you don't remember Lori from her last episode, she's an expert in professional empowerment; she motivates teams to maximize their capacity for excellence. She inspires by supporting clients in the discovery of their true potential. Lori enjoys meeting new people and is fascinated by their uniqueness. She’s open-minded and passionate about helping individuals to identify and enhance their strengths.
