Show Notes

Set the table: Jim visiting again because he’s at home and Ryan and Leslie haven’t worked in brick and mortar for a while. We know virtual and small business. Jim knows formal office

 

Segment 1: Phones

 

Ryan: Not obsolete are they? But rules have changed

 

  • More purpose driven and shorter.

  • Usually scheduled via email or text

  • Practices developed about timing of calls, like when it was just phones, a call after 9pm meant emergency

 

Segment 2: Email and text

 

  • Text, just don’t in the office. 

  • Email. Length, type, subject line, reply all

 

Segment 3: Video conferencing

 

Ryan: so many fails out there now. Clothing, bathrooms, backgrounds, 

  • Assorted tips

 

Closing:  Final thoughts

Emails, texts, calls are demands for your time. So many now, need to recognize that you don’t have to submit to every demand. 

66/ Mindset: Gratitude

Its the term for the adults still caring for children at home when their own parents care needs rise.  It can be complicated, messy and a little uncomfortable. We are here to help navigate.

65/ It Takes a Village 

Life shouldn't be lonely.  We are meant to be together and thrive!  Today we talk about what happened to the village and how we can rebuild it.

64/ How to Delegate

Effective delegation is a neglected skill. Circular trap. When it doesn’t quickly work, we often think it is easier to do things ourselves, which makes effective delegation more elusive..

63/ Back To School

Having now seen school from almost every angle and gotten perspective from the pandemic, I have many thoughts on what I would do differently if I had the chance.
