Four Lessons from 100 Leaders after Six Months of Work From Home
This week marks six months since NYC was shut down and since most of the country went into lockdown mode. In the past six months, I have connected with over 100 leaders who have been working from home. Some of them I have coached throughout this time, some are advisors to me, some joined my Virtual Leadership webinars, and others participated in my virtual team coaching sessions. These interactions were eye-opening for me, and I am excited to share some of what I learned with you.
