I’m willing to bet that every day, we spend some amount of time waiting. Waiting on hold. Waiting on our food order. Waiting for our kids to get off the bus. Waiting, waiting, waiting. And I recently observed a group of people who were waiting for quite a long time. In this episode, I’ll share

The title implies an important point: Your organizational culture is changing. And by the way, “changing” doesn’t mean going back to the way it was in 2019 (even if you hope so).

In the early days of the pandemic, the rush was on for remote team building.

How we see our world and our future is impacted greatly by what we have already experienced. Until March of 2020, even if you had worked remotely some (or a lot), you lived in a world that was place-centric and not work-centric. Now that we all have a new set of experiences, its time to
