From being the Founding Managing Editor of NowThis; the Executive Director of Digital for The Washington Post; the sixth hire and Head of News for The Huffington Post and now the CoFounder and President of PowerToFly, I’ve had my fair share of remote working experiences. As an individual contributor and manager, it was so important for me to track my productivity and allow my work to shine on it’s own when I wasn’t able to be visibly “seen” by my boss doing the work, and now as the founder of a totally remote company, I know exactly what to look for in successful remote hires so not to micromanage them and still get the best work.
Ask me anything in this hour-long virtual chat, and you’ll be sure to walk away with the following tips & tricks I’ve learned over the years:
- How to escalate the medium, not the message
- Tricks for managing your time so you can actually get stuff done and stay productive
- Communication tips for any team or culture
