Welcome to vBBC Friday, The Cloud E-space Edition
“Staying Connected, Going Virtual” Part 2, w/ Charlie King
Interesting times call for creative changes.
And for those joining us in our virtual OfficeXpats e-space for the first time, & for any remaining Zoom questions, we’ll start with a brief review of Zoom’s virtual meeting platform.
Then we will consider together:
- What’s the best thing about working from home (garage, cellar, cave), and why?
- What’s the hardest thing about working from home, cave, bunker, and why?
- Share one or two “productivity hacks” you’ve created in response to working from home, nuclear bunker, wood shed, old motor home parked at lonely road end.
Time: A recurring meeting weekly, Fridays 8:00-9:00
