SPaMCAST 630 - It's All About the People, A Panel Discussion with Laberge, Parente, Voris, Sweeney, and Cagley

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In March 2020, as our world was shrinking and words like 'lockdown' and 'zoom-bombing' were becoming a reality, we recorded and aired</span> <a href= "https://bit.ly/2VX7tTu"><span style="font-weight: 400;">SPaMCAST 597</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Paul Laberge, Susan Parente, Jo Ann Sweeney, John Voris, and I talked about how we could create or preserve interactions leading to serendipity. Remote working was new for many people. This week we discuss what went well and what have we learned from nearly a year of working remotely. As the editor of the SPaMCAST it is my great pleasure to reconvene a group of people that have such great insight into people. The discussion is full of great ideas to improve remote and hybrid working environments, but most of all it is full of ideas to help respect people in tough times or not.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Panelist Bios</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img style= "display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src= "https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/show/20727/J_Sweeney_smll.jpg" alt="" width="169" height="170" /></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jo Ann Sweeney FCIM FIIC MCIPR is an engagement and communication consultant.
