In this episode I had the opportunity to interview Darren Virassammy, author, speaker and COO of 34 Strong, Inc.- a national consulting firm that helps companies and government agencies create "a great place to work".
During our conversation we talk a lot about the challenges facing businesses and their teams as we transition to a more "permanent" work from home environment and how we can do a better job keeping our employees (and ourselves) more engaged - including a tip I had never considered.
We also dive into personal growth, finding balance with family, music and a lot more. Whether you are a manager or a mom or both, there's something in this one for everyone.
Some of what we cover during the interview includes:
- The power of “Uncertainty Anchors”
- How to make hard decisions
- Managing mental health and burnout
- Managing remote teams during COVID
- The key to remote employee engagement (it’s not what you think)
- The “Power of the Pause”
- Having fun and recharging
