In today’s episode, I’m joined by Taiwo Onibokun, the Director of Revenue Operations at Yahoo and EdgeCast. I was so impressed with how Taiwo virtually connects with her global team, I had to invite her over to share some of her tips with all of you. A lot of workplaces are hybrid right now, or completely virtual, and it brings new challenges for leaders. The biggest challenge we talk about in this episode is how to make sure that team members feel connected, seen, and heard by the management.
Tune in as we discuss Zoom fatigue, the disadvantages and advantages of working virtually, how to integrate water cooler talks in virtual teams, double standards some may experience at work, and much more!

Quote from the episode: "Spend 15 minutes, sometimes 20, just doing a check the room, check the environment, how are you feeling? What's the best thing that happened to you last week, what happened over the weekend, you want to share, just really getting people to talk about things that were not work-related. I felt like it changed the morale of my organisation. "
