• Laure Gajkowski

Working remotly is challenging.

• Time zone problems: try to rotate meeting times
• Information is social, discussions happen offline, so put them all online.
• Teleconferencing is not always working: be consistent with your tools.
• Embrace differences
• Advicate internally (do yourself some promotion)
• Celebrate achievements, say thank you
• Create a virtual office: coffe break in front of your screen
• Do “team get togethers” (meeting in real life)
