The importance of networking in Distributed Work
Magda Sowierszenko, co-founder of Remote-how, shares her journey in building connections in the remote world, emphasizing depth over breadth.
🤝 Connection Over Quantity: You don't have to meet a multitude to form strong bonds. It's about the quality and depth of each interaction.
🎯 Intentionality is Crucial: Whether you're communicating, collaborating, or setting company values, purposefulness is a must in remote work.
🔍 Notice the Small Details: When engaging virtually, pick up on commonalities and shared interests. Recalling them in future conversations can create a more natural bond.
❤️ Genuine Appreciation Goes a Long Way: Regularly and honestly expressing gratitude can bolster relationships and bring many benefits to the virtual workspace.
🤲 Help and Be Helped: In a remote setting, it's easy to recede into your own bubble. Push yourself to aid others, as this fosters trust and camaraderie.
🌐 Growing a Network: With dedication and intent, you can cultivate a network of colleagues, experts, and partners you truly enjoy connecting with, even if you've never met them face-to-face.
