#Teams365 2155: Week In review - Last Mile, Systems, and Black Friday Specials

11/24/2019

0 Comments

It's Sunday which means that it's time for another Week in Review. You'll find the posts listed below.

Before we get there, a couple of exciting announcements:

First, the Remote Pathways Podcast which I am co-hosting with Michelle Mullins is going live this week. The podcast will follow the people, places and pathways of remote work. We're exploring the landscape of 12 types of remote work - from professional coaches, to project managers, sales professionals, to those attached to larger offices working remote several days a month, to remotepreneurs.

My writing around Remote Pathways and the Digital Dozen started this past summer as part of a literacy fundraiser is was part of called the Muskoka Novel Marathon. It's exciting to see how that writing set the seeds for the podcast and also a guide for new remote workers which will be published in 2020. Stay tuned.

You can check out the first episode of Remote Pathways here. more info on how to subscribe coming soon. It's already available via Spotify

The second announcement is that my annual Black Friday sales have started and are on until December 3rd. This year I am offering discounts of several of the digital products including the Conversation Sparker Cards, and 20 AReas to support Remote and Virtual Teams (ebook), as well as a 35% discount on my two annual groups - Learning Lab and Design Studio (geared for coaches, trainers, facilitators and other program designers), and the Coaching Biz Growth Lab (for coaches growing their business). I hope you'll take advantage of these savings over the next week! Check out the savings at the Potentials Realized store!

If you are interested in coaching, please check out our 4 and 6 month Coaching Groups for new and experienced team leaders. Class size is capped at 10-12 leaders per cohort or session.
