McKenna Sweazey

In this Episode I interview McKenna Sweazey who is on a mission to make remote work actually work.  Pre-pandemic the physical workplace was challenging but at least you could see people and get a feel for their state of mind.   When COVID hit and everyone had to work remotely managers lost that ability to and as a result many employees struggled.   McKenna's mission is to teach organizations how to employ empathy to help reconnect remote employees with their team. A very powerful interview for anyone that struggles with the hybrid and remote work environment.
