Remote Leaders Confessions

10 Lessons from remote leaders: 2-Minute Remote Leaders Confessions?

Every year, we ask the attendees of the Running Remote conference what they love most about the event. And every single time, we get the same answer - it's "the people". From participants to speakers, the friendly and open-minded nature of everyone involved, the diversity, the positive energy, and the sense of community just fills the air, every single year.

So this year we wanted to highlight the community members in one of the sessions. We wanted to create a space where they could share their powerful stories, stories that might not have been heard otherwise.?

That's how Remote Confessions came to life. In this fast-paced session, ten Running Remote community members spill the beans on the one thing they wished they had known before becoming a remote leader. From the power of kindness to hiring for value, not for cost - there are great lessons there!
