Beth shares her experience working from home since 2009 and how she got there, finding out where which work environment you thrive in, and why working remotely is effective for some and not others. She also provides insights for leaders in building structure to make sure their teams are still getting things done.

QUOTES

Working too many hours a week - Beth: "So what did I do? I worked more. And the problem is that you get into a cycle where that is rewarded. Like I can have you instead of two people. It worked for me for a while and I was rewarded for it so it has taken me many years to break some of those habits."

Understanding what people value in terms of working hours - Beth: "People can think about what they are valuing and the fact that you are working so hard and what that actually means in terms of what you're producing and how you're performing."

Building a healthy and sustainable work set-up as a leader - Beth: "As leaders, it comes down to finding a fit for you in an organization that values the same things that you value and then ensuring that that is the leadership that you are giving to your team."
