  2. 06 SPECIAL EPISODE: Coronavirus and Working From Home - The Power Of Being Prepared, How To Stay Connected and Get Set-up For Virtual Meetings and Speaking

Mar 17, 2020

"It is important to be prepared and stay connected." - Angela Chee

How do you stay connected and keep moving your work-life forward during this time of social distancing?

A lot has shifted in a week….we just launched the show last week and we have some amazing episodes coming up, but it not business as usual. So I recorded a special work from home episode instead.

On Wednesday, The World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus a pandemic.  Events and conferences cancelled, companies ordering employees to work from home. On Friday my kids schools closed in San Diego, counties in San Francisco ordering shelter in place on Monday.  It went from many clients and fellow speakers feeling a bit uncertain a few weeks ago to a very urgent matter.   I'm taking this very seriously and staying home with my family.

It's important for all of us to do our part to stop the spread, yet still  stay calm, productive and healthy.  It’s important as we work from home and do more social distancing that we don’t isolate emotionally. Remember to stay connected, check on your family and friends.  I'm practicing compassion and also sending my thoughts to those who may not have the privilege to work from home.

While I have done my research on the coronavirus, I’m am not an expert, but I did want to share some of my resources on how I keep update and stay informed to keep my family safe. But where I can be in expert in how to stay connected on-camera and off.  How do you set up your home for virtual meetings? What equipment and software do you need? How do you run a virtual meeting effectively? How do you still stay connected if you’re working from home?

Here are some of my tips from a recent Facebook live that I did. I hope they serve you in this uncertain time.
