I Wrote A Book On Remote Work Just Before Covid Hit. Here’s What I’ve Learned In the Past Two Years.

In 2019, I wrote a book on remote work. The result, Office Optional: How To Build a Connected Culture With Virtual Teams, came out in early 2020, during the early days of the pandemic.

What I thought would happen over the next decade rapidly unfolded in a matter of days. Today, 58% of U.S. workers (about 92 million people), work remotely at least part-time.

Since Covid hit, we’ve all learned a lot about remote work. Even me, and I’ve run a virtual-first company, Centric Consulting, for over two decades. Read the full article on Medium.com to find out the biggest revelations I’ve experienced in the past two years.
