Welcome to the first episode of the Head of Remote podcast! In this series, we'll explore one of the most transformative roles in the modern workplace: the Head of Remote. Remote work is more than a trend—it's a permanent shift in how we collaborate and connect. But to make it work, organizations need dedicated leadership to guide the cultural, operational, and behavioral changes that come with flexibility. That's where the Head of Remote comes in. In this episode, host Lisette Sutherland sets the stage for what's to come, diving into the purpose of this series and why the Head of Remote role is crucial for thriving in a flexible-first world. You'll hear insights from remote work pioneers like Nadia Vatalidis, Kenneth Hellem, and Laurel Farrer, who share their definitions of the role, key responsibilities, and the essential skills required for success. Tune in to kick off this journey and discover why the future of work starts here.
In this episode Lisette Sutherland talks about remote working and how you get the best out of it. Lisette authored the Work Together Anywhere Handbook, is a TEDX speaker and runs the company Collaboration Superpowers.

Maya and Pilar discuss some of the ways in which remote workers are networking. And very special guest Matt Ballantine shares his experiment “100 coffees”. Recorded on 21 March 2024. To get in touch, head over to https://www.virtualnotdistant.com/contact-us Maya shares a recent event she ran as part of Remote Work Europe, with Ali Meehan on “speed networking”. Someone else organising networking-type events is Lisette Sutherland from Collaboration Superpowers, who is running virtual coworking sessions: https://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/workshops/schedule/?type=1112 Maybe this kind of event is something organisations could run, instead of assuming the best way for people to connect is through face to face social events? 12.25mins Special guest Matt Ballantine tells us about his relationship building experiment: 100 coffees.

Pilar and Tim are back having a conversation about conversations. Following on from #66 which covered 1:1 conversations, in this episode they dive into group discussions. Facilitating a group adds another layer of complexity - for example giving more time to one person means less time for everyone else. And people behave differently in group conversations. There are more people to be mindful of, more rapport to build, more status to be won and lost. And for managers it is a challenge. There is lots going on within the group dynamic - and in our own minds. We have to be aware of our own habits and those of our people, and even reassess our idea of the many forms worthwhile contributions and engagement can look like in a group. 00:10 mins Through her career in facilitation and leading groups Pilar has learnt that some people need time or a few attempts to get their point across. These people are hard to manage in a group conversation because if you want them to contribute to the conversation you have to make enough space for them. 4:00 Pilar suggests talking with them separately before the group conversation. If you understand what they want to communicate then you can use that in the larger discussion. For example, you can gently bring them to their point or help them by paraphrasing their thoughts. Sometimes when people don't feel understood they keep trying different ways to get their point across. Which can take time! 5:45 Tim proposes bringing them later into the discussion, after some of their points have already been covered, so they don't need to say as much. This can be a win-win if you get them to buy into this plan. By letting others contribute early on, engagement will increase throughout the discussion. And so if your "long talkers" are able to wait, their later contribution will have a greater impact because everyone is more engaged in what they are saying. 7:45 As someone who has orchestrated a lot of large group discussions online, Pilar has seen the good and bad of breakout rooms. One benefit is conversations can happen in parallel. Splitting the group for part of the time can be a useful in-person tool too. 9:00 Tim confesses that he gets a thrill out of being the lead in a big group discussion. Breakout rooms mean a smaller audience! Pilar reassures him that it's ok to enjoy that spotlight. As leaders we need to meet some of our own needs as well as the needs of our team. And we can still get joy from aspects like setting direction, bringing people back together and summarising for the group. 11:45 In-person meetings have logistical challenges to breakout discussions. It can be hard enough to book one meeting space for the time you need, let alone if you want to include several breakout spaces as well. 13:00 We can overcome some of the logistics by looking beyond the idea that a discussion has to be a large group all in a meeting room together at the same time. Smaller groups can meet beforehand, information can be shared in different mediums or distributed at different times, parts of the discussions can even be asynchronous. This can give opportunity to those who need time to digest information or those who don't want to talk in front of a large group. 15:30 Leaders will sometimes need to focus on their own contribution to a discussion. At times like these it's super helpful to have built capacity for others in the team to be able to run the meeting. 16:00 We can also think about how our people's traits might be helpful. Opinionated people can help start a discussion or the person who thinks out loud can run through the agenda. 16:50 When a group discussion gets close to an outcome, Tim can get overexcited and lose his balance. 18:00 The great Lisette Sutherland from Collaboration Superpowers taught Tim that if people don't speak in the first 5 minutes of a meeting they are significantly less likely to speak for the entire rest of the meeting. He tried to resist the thrill of being the first person to say an idea. Instead he found a new pleasure of holding back to see if, after everyone had made their contribution, he still had a unique contribution to make. 20:30 Pilar shares a story of a time she got her desired result just by waiting and letting the other people speak. This is a great skill to build in individual and group situations. What about you, dear listener? What do you find hard with group conversations? We'd love to hear from you!

Lisette's journey into remote work began approximately 20 years ago when she started working for an online project management tool. What made this tool unique was its objective of bringing scientists together to find solutions to the aging problem. This experience got Lisette thinking about the possibilities of removing distance as a barrier. Due to the nature of her work for the tool vendor, Lisette had the opportunity to work remotely while being a tour manager for a music band. At some point, someone suggested that she start a podcast on remote work, which sparked her interest in exploring and sharing her knowledge in this area.

Unveiling the Challenges of Remote Work: Communication Overload, Bonding Struggles, and More In this podcast, Lisette discusses the most common challenges in remote work, which can be summarized as follows: Missing osmotic conversations: Remote workers often feel the absence of spontaneous, informal conversations that used to happen naturally in office settings. Information dissemination issues: There is a difficulty in effectively sharing and disseminating information as compared to traditional workplace setups. Meeting and communication overload: Remote work can lead to excessive meetings and communication, which can be overwhelming and hinder productivity. Blurred boundaries between work and personal life: Remote workers often struggle with maintaining a healthy work-life balance, as they tend to work at all times and from any location. Difficulties in bonding and closeness: Remote work can create a sense of detachment and lack of closeness among colleagues, leading to challenges in building strong relationships. Challenges with organizing work for introverts and extroverts: Remote work requires finding a balance between the needs of introverts and extroverts in terms of communication and collaboration styles. Need for inclusive work practices: There is a genuine need to develop work strategies that cater to the needs of both extroverts and introverts, fostering a productive and inclusive remote work environment. The Great Debate: Office or Remote? Lisette's Thoughts and Practical Advice Lisette shares her thoughts on the "go back to the office" versus "remote first" debate, offering insights and practical tips based on her experiences. She highlights virtual co-working as a potential solution to address the challenges faced in remote work. Lisette mentions Superkit as a handy resource for virtual co-working. She expresses confusion regarding the ongoing debate, pointing out that the past three years have demonstrated the viability and success of remote work. However, she acknowledges that certain company cultures and teams may thrive in an in-person environment, emphasizing that some individuals simply enjoy working together physically. Lisette discusses the importance of team building, noting that many companies are struggling in this aspect. She suggests creating agreements within teams and shares an example of a team member who organizes collaborative work sessions every Monday. Lisette emphasizes the need to consider the purpose of the office and recommends virtual co-working as a solution. She explains that virtual co-working involves opening a Zoom call and working together while discussing tasks, simulating the experience of sitting next to someone in an office. This approach has helped create a sense of teamwork and camaraderie. Lisette offers tips to make virtual co-working successful, such as trying different approaches based on individual preferences, being mindful of video fatigue, and establishing team-specific etiquette. Overall, Lisette's insights shed light on the complexities of the office versus remote work debate, advocating for a nuanced approach that considers company culture, team dynamics, and the potential benefits of virtual co-working. Remote Success Strategies: Lisette's Advice for Scrum Masters Lisette offers crucial advice to Scrum Masters, guiding them through the challenges of remote work. She highlights the usefulness of her SuperKit, a remote working kit available at collaborationsuperpowers.com/superkit. This kit equips Scrum Masters with essential tools like team agreements, user manuals, and meeting agreements to enhance collaboration in remote settings. Recognizing the importance of human connection, Lisette emphasizes that productivity cannot be solely measured by output. Scrum Masters should prioritize fostering a supportive and connected environment for their teams. They should encourage open communication and create opportunities for team members to express their needs and preferences to ensure a sustainable and productive work environment. Lisette encourages Scrum Masters to seize the opportunity to redesign work processes in the remote context. They should explore innovative ways to visualize and share work progress, as relying solely on text-based communication might not be sufficient. Creativity in visualizing work together can enhance clarity and collaboration. Lastly, Lisette reminds Scrum Masters of their influential role as leaders. They should model the behavior and practices they expect from their teams. By embracing and demonstrating effective remote work practices themselves, Scrum Masters can inspire their teams to follow suit and achieve success in the remote work landscape. Building Bridges, Not Barriers: Lisette's Insights about Conflict Resolution in Remote Work In this segment, Lisette addresses the topic of conflict in remote work environments, sharing personal struggles and offering advice. She acknowledges that she also faces challenges with conflict, expressing her inclination to avoid it. However, she emphasizes that sometimes it is necessary to confront conflicts rather than running away from them. It is crucial to create a safe space where conflicts can be addressed openly. In remote work, bringing up conflicts may seem more significant than intended due to the lack of face-to-face interaction. Lisette advises teams to establish a protocol for handling conflicts as part of their team agreement. One important tip she shares is to avoid engaging in conflicts over text-based communication. To navigate conflicts effectively, Lisette recommends seeking training, specifically mentioning Nonviolent Communication (NVC) as a valuable resource. She provides links to resources related to NVC and difficult conversation. Lisette encourages Scrum Masters to consider the needs of their team members and how they handle conflicts. Understanding individual communication styles, especially in written communication, can contribute to better conflict resolution within the team.

De hecho, cree que no solo es posible; sino que es completa y productivamente viable, si se hace bien. Lissette Nos explica que el trabajo remoto y el trabajo en persona son ambientes totalmente diferentes y que como tal deben plantearse soluciones distintas, también nos cuenta que la resistencia/miedo de los líderes a no querer soltar el control sobre los colaboradores es lo que limita a las organizaciones a moverse a un esquema remoto además hablamos de: Por qué las organizaciones deben aspirar y promover Remote First. o Algunos beneficios del Trabajo Remoto: Libertad para los individuos, acomodar su agenda personal y laboral. para organizaciones, contratación de talento de otras regiones. Algunas desventajas/retos: La disciplina, en el contexto de los colaboradores, debemos aprender a hacer las tareas aún y cuando haya tareas que no nos gustan. La comunicación en las organizaciones, las compañías deben definir estrategias adecuadas al entorno remoto. Migrar tal cual el esquema presencial al esquema remoto es uno de los principales errores que las organizaciones cometen al implementar Remote.

Lisette is a remote-working German-born American living in the Netherlands who is totally jazzed by the fact that it’s possible to work from anywhere.

This year’s been busy for remote working enthusiast – we’d say guru, really – Lisette Sutherland! She opens up her treasure chest to share her insights on how to keep this remote working adventure going well. Because it looks like we’ll be working from home for a longer time, both by necessity and choice. Lisette’s first and biggest tip: get comfortable in your workspace. Wherever you’re working, figure out what you (and your team) need to be productive and design your work around that. Remote working and in-person office working are two different things and it works best to design them differently. It’s like radio vs tv: they both offer their own unique limits and opportunities. Break up your 2D screen time overload and set up new routines for real connective human discussions. “We really need to pay attention to each other, and reach out.” Very few people want to go back to working in the office 100% of the time – or from home 100% of the time. We want the freedom to choose when and where we’re most productive. So let’s set everything up and design it in the best possible way: what is going to work best for us?

What is remote-first? In normal times, it's an organization that is built in such a way that anyone can go remote if necessary. “Whether or not you want to allow your employees to go remote, you should have the processes in place to be able to just-in-case because you see transportation problems loom all over the world, weather problems all over the world, sick children at home. There were all kinds of reasons why a business should be putting remote processes into place,” said Lisette Sutherland on this episode of The New Stack Makers. For Sutherland, founder of Collaboration Superpowers remote team workshops, longtime remote work podcast host, and author of A Handbook on Working Remotely — Successfully — for Individuals, Teams, and Managers, we've been technologically ready for a remote-first world for about five years now. And she says there's always been logic in factoring a remote-first mindset into your business continuity planning. Plus, giving the option of remote work often makes for a much more inclusive workplace that in turn empowers a business to hire the best candidate no matter where they live. With remote work, “people can hire people who love what they do, rather than people who are just doing their job,” Sutherland said.

In this episode, we hear from how different people are going about growing their companies. They have different customers, different recruitment processes and different ideas about the size and make up of their workforce. However, they have one thing in common: their employees are distributed over different geographical locations. What's Going On section links: Harvard Business School’s research summary “How Companies Benefit When Employees Work Remotely” Highlights from Flexjobs 2019 Annual Survey. ">Appear.in has changed its name. Find out why here: https://whereby.com/information/brand Judy Rees and Lisette Sutherland are running a series of workshops on Running Remote Meetings. Starting 18 Sept 2019, book here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/remotetogether/289398 Info Q is publishing a series of articles on Remote Meetings, and celebrating the series with a session on Mastering Remote Meetings, on 1st October!

">Growing a Remote Organisation 22.56mins. Wade Foster and Jeremiah Smith talk about their first steps in setting up the company and why they decided to set up their businesses. Our guests explain why they started to employ people at Zapier and Simple Tiger. 29.40mins. Pilar explains the nature of employment at Virtual not Distant; Wade explains how they recruit at Zapier; Jeremiah talks about his own process when looking for other people to hire; while third guest Tim Burgess takes on a different strategy when looking for employees for Shield GEO. 43.40mins. So far, hiring for remote seems very similar to hiring for colocated. However, there is one thing that makes a huge difference when you’re growing a remote company: Timezone differences. Tim and Wade discuss their thoughts and experiences around hiring globally and asynchronous (and text-based) communication specifically. 54.00mins. Hiring globally means that you can grow and grow and grow and grow… but that’s not on everyone’s mind.

In Episode 21, we meet Lisette Sutherland, who describes herself as a remote-working German-born American living in the Netherlands who is today jazzed by the fact that it is possible to work from anywhere. Not just possible, but completely, productively workable — if you do it right. Lisette is a public speaker, workshop leader, and the director of Collaboration Superpowers, a company that helps people work together from anywhere through online and in-person workshops.
This week on the If You Market podcast we speak with Lisette Sutherland of Collaboration Superpowers about both managing remote workers and working remotely. Lisette also shares her least favorite video conference software and much more. Lisette Sutherland is a remote-working German-born American living in the Netherlands who is totally jazzed by the fact that it’s possible to work from anywhere. In fact, it’s not just possible; it’s completely, productively workable – if you do it right.
Last year at a conference in Australia I was asked to participate in a debate. The topic to argue for or against was: “Co-located teams are always more productive than remote teams,” or something like that. Our team of three argued against the point and won the debate. However, the topic keeps coming up in leadership courses and coaching sessions. This brings to mind the definitive work on workplace flexibility - Lisette Sutherland’s Work Together Anywhere, and this is the first of undoubtedly many choinquecasts based on her pioneering work. Let’s begin with a bit of terminology. Sutherland describes: • a telecommuter as someone who works remotely (usually from home), either full or part time, on a fixed team for one company. • a self-employed freelancer who runs mainly service-based businesses and usually works with more than one remote client, whether simultaneously or consecutively. • some self-employed freelancers who are also small business owners, whether solopreneurs or entrepreneurs (with a few remote employees or contractors). Any of these types may be digital nomads, that is, they use portable technology to maintain a nomadic lifestyle. Now let’s consider a demographic trend. According to the 2017 State of Telecommuting in the U.S. Employee Workforce report, half of all telecommuters are forty-five or older. Let’s also recall Dan Pink’s findings that autonomy, mastery and purpose are primary motivators in a knowledge-based economy. Sutherland’s findings suggest that companies that don’t offer the remote option endanger their long-term viability, or more simply their ability to stay competitive, to retain and attract talent, to grow and shrink the organization as needed, and to reduce costs and increase profits. Consider the options the most talented have today. What is your mindset? Or that of your organization? Do you have a managerial, or hours-oriented work mindset; or do you have a results-oriented work mindset? Leaders Seek the Best Talent.
Recorded on October 11, 2018, this episode’s topic was suggested to us by a listener: Dumb Rules That Make Your Best People Want to Quit. This really resonated with us. People get frustrated with certain types of rules set by HR and managers and those rules become counter-productive. We talk about alternative approaches, a shift in mindset, and how to bring about change. What are some of the dumb rules you’ve seen? And what are the tips and tricks you’ve encountered to change them? Share your stories and ideas with us, we’d love to hear from you. https://www.facebook.com/hrmattersamsterdam/ The article, a Medium Feature Story: https://medium.com/s/story/10-dumb-rules-that-make-your-best-people-want-to-quit-8491b446dde5 Also mentioned in the recording: Google’s toothbrush test https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/08/17/in-silicon-valley-mergers-must-meet-the-toothbrush-test/ Manoush Zomorodi’s 2017 TedTalk: ‘How boredom can lead to your most brilliant ideas’ https://www.ted.com/talks/manoush_zomorodi_how_boredom_can_lead_to_your_most_brilliant_ideas Lisette Sutherland’s book ‘Work Together Anywhere: A Handbook on Working Remotely — Successfully — for Individuals, Teams, and Managers’ https://www.collaborationsuperpowers.com/book/
Many highly sensitive people and introverts struggle with open office environments. The fluorescent lights, un-controlled noise, and constant distractions. Just a few of the sensory slaps around the face you might experience. These kinds of collaborative workspaces have become common place. But they are not the only answer. They are often the difference between job satisfaction and workplace stress, especially for highly sensitive people and introverts. The shame is that this stress has nothing to do with the work itself. Lisette Sutherland is my guest on this week's show. She has some great stuff to share on why we should consider remote working, both as individuals and teams. She is passionate about helping people build collaboration in digital spaces. The future is defined by the limits (and expanse) of our imaginations. This is great news for highly sensitive people. Problems That Remote Working Can Solve 1. The Environment Gain control over environmental factors like temperature, lighting, and noise. 2. Distractions Take control over what distractions you allow into your time and space. We all have different rhythms and ways of working. Boundaries are vital to manage our effectiveness and creative flow. 3. Energy Management Imagine making the choice to go for a run during the workday. Many jobs could actually function better if we opened up to the possibility of increased flexibility. Stop defining work by the time you're at your desk. Focus instead on how effective and energised you are. What if you could finish work with a feeling of satisfaction, creative energy, and wellbeing? Stop ending the day drained and exhausted. End the habits of numbness (where you flick on the TV and prepare to do it all again tomorrow). Work Together Anywhere Lisette Sutherland is the director of Collaboration Superpowers. A company that helps people work together from anywhere through online and in-person workshops. She also produces a weekly podcast featuring interviews with remote working experts highlighting the challenges and successes of working with virtual teams. Lisette's book is called Work Together Anywhere: A Handbook on Working Remotely—Successfully—for Individuals, Teams, and Managers. Learn how to build a life of remote working as an individual. Turn your team into a remote powerhouse. Lisette also shares how being a highly sensitive person has underpinned the fascinating life she's both designed and flowed with over the years. She's got a great perspective on working with our temperaments rather than against them, and being open to the potential that this can have for our lives.

Cultural Differences & Cultural Diversity in International Business
About This Week's Guest Hugo Messer Hugo Messer has been building and managing teams around the world for over 10 years. His passion is to enable people that are spread across cultures, geography and time zones to cooperate. Whether it’s offshoring or nearshoring, he knows what it takes to make a global collaboration work. His 6 tips to become more culturally competent are: Focus on creating one team or one partnership. Invest time in this and try to get away from an "us versus them feeling". Take time to think about how you will work remotely. Do this before you actually start executing and working. When you're developing software, use an iterative framework like Scrum. Make the process incremental. You need people with empathy on location in order to find was to get across the cultural hurdles. Use daily "standup" meetings. Get together (virtually) every day for 5 to 10 minutes in order to re-align where everyone is. This way you can truly build a remote virtual team. It is crucial that everyone in the team is on the same page. They should all be aligned with each other.

Cultural Differences & Cultural Diversity in International Business
About This Week's Guest Lisette Sutherland Lisette is the Director at CollaborationSuperpowers.com, a company that helps teams work together from anywhere. She is also a Funder of Happy Melly, a company helping to globalize companies that are improving the lives of knowledge workers. With over 10 years experience with web-based collaboration tools and online community management, her goal is to get the best people working together regardless of location. Her three tips to become more culturally competent are: Slow down. Ask what you don't know. Although you might not know what you don't know (a blind spot) still ask questions and more questions. When working virtually, you can create a Holiday Calendar. Holidays are important in every country and this way you can find out more about the other culture by asking why the holiday is and how it is celebrated. Create a "Personal Map"; like a mind map, but then you put your name in the middle. Around your name, you write things about yourself. But you don't explain it yourself, you let your virtual team members ask what they see. This is a great way to get to know each other and do virtual team building. Create a virtual water cooler or "Kitty talk" (this is explained in the podcast). This means that you simply pick a time when you all meet online and just chat. Not about work per se. This can be about everything.

Lisette Sutherland discussed the five Ingredients of successful remote collaboration. Who is collaborating remotely successfully and what are their secrets?
This week is all about the helpful articles that populate the net: we've got ones for you that improve your productivity, a few things to shop for that will help fancify your office space, and a couple of hot new toys that promise to revolutionize the industry. Premium Beats is one of the better post-production blogs around. Here they give 10 things to go pick up to spruce up your desk. How many of these do you already have? Which do you need to add to your wishlist? (http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/10-things-for-your-video-editing-suite-under-200/) The Gnar Box is a device that turns your iPhone into a "dumb terminal" capable of processing 4K GoPro footage. You can edit and upload your 4K footage on-the-go without having to return to your edit suite. This will be probably make the extreme sports nuts very happy. (http://technabob.com/blog/2015/07/29/gnarbox-portable-video-editing-computer/) Another device that seeks to squash the editing computer, the TouchEdit app for the iPad claims to be a precise editing system capable of doing advanced edits with your footage with just your fingertips. Dan Lebental A.C.E. created the app to be a mobile solution for editing. He is a seasoned feature film editor so he must know what he's doing building this app. Care to try it out? (http://www.toucheditapp.com/) Lisette Sutherland is a public speaker and fosters collaborative, long-distance work partnerships. She subjected herself to a 30-day trial of trying different kinds of dressing for work to see how it affected her productivity. Her results led to her making some decisions on how to present herself to her clients even when just teleconferencing at her desk. Any freelance editors should be interested in reading this to find out how you can dress for your work day. (http://www.lisettesutherland.com/2014/06/results-30-day-try-on-athon/) Finally, this list of simple steps to achieving unbound success as a Hollywood editor seems all in good...until you read the one that says you need to move to L.A. or New York. Seems pretty outdated to think that physical location has that kind of affect on your career nowadays. It's not uncommon to work from a long-distance with just the same level of involvement and efficiency as you would from working in the same building as your client/producer.

Welcome to the first episode of the 21st Century Work Life podcast, a show created to look at how the world of work,and our attitudes to work are changing.
