Hi!
Following on from yesterday’s post 10 helpful tips for working remotely I thought I’d share two podcast interviews on the same subject. Also a bonus thought on headphones.
The first one is a bonus epsiode on the Weekly Reboot with Alexandra Stokes from Reboot Co. In this epsiode we discuss remote working and I provide some of the tips and hints that allow the company I work for (Envato) to achieve face to face collaboration whilst having a very remote friendly culture.
The second one is an interview that my colleague Ruma Dak and I did with Lisette Sutherland from Collaboration Superpowers. In this interview, we discuss how Envato stay aligned, profitable and connected with a workforce that works from anywhere.
Whilst we’re on the subject of your ears, if you’re working remotely one of the vital tools of the trade is some good quailty headphones. I was using my apple (wired) headphones for while at the start but found I need something with noise cancelling and for them to be cordless so I could move around.
After doing some research and testing a few, I ended up going with the Bose QuietComfort 35 II… and haven’t looked back. They’re a bit pricey but worth the investment. The sound quality is great as is the noise cancelling and microphone, but most importantly they’re lightweight and fit comfortably. This is not a sponsored post!
I’d love to know what headphones you’re using or what you thought of the podcast interviews if you take listen. Please leave a comment below or reach out to me on twitter @jhyett
Thanks for reading and take care.
