Surviving Life as a Remote Web Worker

Experience level: 
Beginner
Session Track: 

Business and Strategy

The purpose of this track is two-fold - one angle helps you to understand the advantages of Drupal from an organizational leadership angle and the other is to highlight the great Drupal sites and projects you're working on and to show what's possible. These sessions are business focused, and will be non-technical.

Speaker(s): 

No one wants to admit it, but working remote is hard. You have to collaborate with people you might never meet over a spotty VPN connection with the added (often self-imposed) pressure of having non-stop productive days. ALL this while chasing the work-life balance unicorn. It's not easy, but it is doable. In this session, you'll learn how to play up your personal strengths to go the distance in a non-traditional work setup. We'll also cover tips and techniques to get the most out of working remote and how to avoid common pitfalls like the "freshman 40".
