Career Connections for Coping Part 2

In the second part of the “Career Connections for Coping” mini-series, The Middlests turn from engaging with intention to: how to have impact remotely & digitally.

Whether you’re working from home during the pandemic or affected by changes to your work environment, the “new normal” requires us to make certain shifts. Connecting with colleagues continues to be key but making an impact through video conferences and/or remotely, requires us to project a “new” version of ourselves.

Career coach Anne Baker (Partners International) returns to the show to give us ways of identifying the elements to lean on and the actions to take for driving impact in the “new normal.”
