Wow. We are at episode 60! Not only have we recorded a 40-episode this season, we have recorded 11 of them remotely. Thanks to our amazing editor Kylie for making that possible!

The three of us are huge fans of reflecting on our experiences to look for the growth opportunities. Given that this is our last episode for this season and we have had 4 months of living in COVID times, this seems like a good moment to stop and reflect.

Key Takeaways:

  • We’ve all noticed we’ve got some strong feelings about being introverted, extroverted, and working from home: Sandy likes working from home and having her own schedule; Sarah really likes working at home... but ALONE; and Tara actually really likes spontaneous social interactions in the workplace!
  • Businesses and individuals have adapted so quickly and been able to operate in more flexible ways with, in some cases, the vast majority of their employees working from home -- hopefully this level of flexibility will continue into the future and will increase the accessibility of certain work environments.
  • Maybe we’ll finally see the permanent demise of the handshake! And, hopefully, that toe tap greeting is short-lived and also disappears just as fast as it emerged. (Please!)
