"Connection starts with generosity and authenticity."
We’re pumped to welcome Laurel Farrer, Founder & CEO of Distribute Consulting, a virtual organizational development think tank and consulting firm, to The Joy of Connecting. She is an internationally-renowned thought leader and expert on the topic of remote work with nearly 20 years of experience. In other words, she’s been advocating for remote work since “before it was cool.”
Laurel joins us on the show to share her wisdom on building authentic relationships and creating a more diverse workforce. In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of remote work, the art of networking as an introvert, and why connection starts with generosity.
We discuss:
- Networking tips for introverts (spoiler: Compliment. Never. Fails. 😉)
- How remote work can unlock workforce diversity and innovation
- Why Laurel’s top networking advice is: "Share a personality, not a pitch"
- The power (& impact) of generosity in building lifelong professional connections
