Work From Home
In this episode we find ourselves reminiscing about the crazy year that was 2020 - the year that forced most of the world into a remote working situation. While Austin has technically been working from home since 2005, the lockdowns had a huge impact on the way found himself lecturing his courses and connecting with his students. Moving to remote teaching was not easy but it did allow for technology to catch up to teaching this way going forward. In-studio, Erin had to deal with a very short-notice work-from-home order in Chicago - and she and her team were reeling slightly in the adjustment process over the weeks that followed. We all, however, adjusted, along with the rest of the world, and we share some of our learnings and the changes we will be adopting in our processes going forward, regardless of the lockdown situation- because they’ve had such a positive impact on our way of working.
