When you work remotely, it’s easy to become invisible. In a world of Zoom calls and emails, it’s harder to have an impact on your organization. It’s harder to bond with your boss and your co-workers. It’s harder to get noticed and valued. But not impossible.

Leah Ryder writes extensively about working remotely. As the Brand & Content Marketing Lead at Trello, her distributed team manages five blogs, all their social media, quarterly cross-team campaigns, community engagement and copywriting for this project management service that has 35 million registered users.

Join us as we discuss how to stay visible and valued when working from home, and how to manage your team so that everyone gets a shot, gets credit, and stays fully engaged.
