161: Empower Your Team: Strategies for a Thriving Remote Workplace

The Professional Creative

This episode is for all you entrepreneurs out there with a team, whether it be a virtual assistant or a whole crew of twelve! If, like me, you are managing a remote team, then you know the challenges of keeping everyone connected and engaged when you’re not physically together.

I have definitely dreamt about having an in-person studio, but with where I live, it’s simply not happening, so I have had to get creative in making our virtual environment feel close-knit, collaborative, and, perhaps most importantly, fun!

Listen in as I share some of the little things that we do as a team that make a big difference. We have a “watercooler” Slack channel where we chat about anything and everything non-work-related, and a “watch list” channel where we bond over our latest TV obsessions. We even celebrate our side hustles together! I am also all about giving my team permission to take it easy when they need to!

I also talk about how taking a step back as the boss can actually empower your team and why a little flex time can go a long way in creating a strong company culture, even when you’re all miles apart! Tune in for tips on fostering connection in your virtual team and making work feel a little less like, well, work!
