How do you actually connect with people when your “office” is a Slack thread and your meetings are a sea of floating heads?

In this episode, Lauren and Courtney get real about the ups and downs of building meaningful relationships in remote-first workplaces. From awkward Zoom intros to making the most of in-person events, they share hard-earned lessons, personal stories, and tangible strategies that actually work.

You’ll hear:

• Why your video presence matters more than you think
• How to show up (without oversharing) to build real trust
• Tips for using employee resource groups and company culture to your advantage
• What to do if you’re remote and can’t travel for team events

• 
  

• Whether you’re fully remote, hybrid, or managing a distributed team, this episode is packed with insights that will help you build stronger, more human connections no matter where you work.
