 Hey, it's Monday and it's 2020, so that means another week Working from home, I guess But we're getting used to it now, aren't we? I want to to use this video a couple of minutes to Talk about some some of the positive aspects of remote work Now for me the way a work week would usually start I'm a public speaker so that meant an alarm early, I mean really early in the morning to To get to the airport before rush hour I Used to fly more than a pilot the way you know that is They send you this Secret level above the frequent flyer card We are the ones with these cool black luggage tags. This is the sign of pleasure and Guilt Well, I guess I won't be getting these much longer now These days a Monday morning typically starts With an hour of trail running or so and then on to a long slow breakfast So for someone like me cutting away That chunk all that travel means oceans of time for whatever I want And of course, this is good. This is good for my health For my carbon footprint. I'm many reasons Then after breakfast, I'm usually here in my office Or these days we refer to it as the home studio. There are cameras and cables and Text stuff everywhere. So I can't even find my desk anymore But this is where I work. I do recordings meetings presentations live streams It's it's amazing when you think about it I mean I can broadcast live from home to an unlimited number of people anywhere in the world That was just impossible and 10 15 years ago to do something like this. You needed a broadcasting studio Satellite equipment hundreds of thousands of dollars in a budget It's kind of funny because last year if you follow me, you know that One year ago that that's one year BC as we say I recorded this a job is only a what What do I do and more importantly? What do I do to get paid? My answer to that is that I am a speaker I stand in front of people and I talk to bring your food for thought to challenge them and inspire them That's what I do for money But as you know, you need to start from the opposite direction You need to start with a why if you're not familiar with this Check out the link down below and listen to Simon Sinek in his world famous speech about how to start with why and why? That is important to you or read his book My why is to help people embrace change and then how I do that and What I get paid to do have changed many times throughout my life and career and will continue to change Just like any other job. Maybe I can meet more people like you now here online And then I don't need to travel as much anymore and maybe in the future I will be referred to as a youtuber rather than a speaker. Who knows Here we are And with all that money now pouring into streaming companies we can expect these Services all the platforms to become much better in the coming years I fully expect the option for virtual reality meetings in just two years time so that we can all have the experience of Being together in the same physical space even though we're not and of course this will set a new standard I mean sure We are social animals, so we will meet again I even believe the business conferences and the whole meeting industry will set new record highs by the end of next year Think of it two years of social distancing That means that everyone will try to grab the opportunity as soon as possible to host the best social gathering But that's also a new standard our expectations and our demands for In real life meetings means the bar is up here You don't ask me to do it old style like Like I told you the alarm at five in the morning and the hassle and the cost of traveling and Staying away from home from family for something we could have done In the virtual world just as well. That's just not going to be acceptable anymore The days of traveling to hear someone just read a PowerPoint are finally over Great events. However, great experiences created to connect social gatherings that makes Everything we do online easier just because we already Connected so we know each other these events These are the ones we will we will all look forward to just like a cool vacation plan or something like this That will be the new standard 21st century events that will be part of the reason we work so hard Another way of thinking about this trend or remote work is Is to think about what it might mean for us in the long term? Society how will this impact society and I don't mean like real estate prices when corporate offices can be smaller or any other Like industry trend. I mean for real. How do we live our lives today? And how will that change? think of Transformation like from farmers to industrial workers if we Again if we are in this transformation now from office workers to Out-of-office workers wouldn't that mean that you can now climb that career ladder by spending a Lot of time somewhere else you don't necessarily need to be in the office Maybe this is a great opportunity for us to raise gender Imbalance the fact that that no one now have to choose between work at home or away from home When you think of it still today in 2020 so many women had to make that choice between a professional life and a family life But if we can all work from home and Managers instead have to start to learn how to measure employees by by results and contributions rather than from how many Hours they spend in the office, then maybe no one have to make that choice anymore Well, like always the future is not to be predicted. It is to be created. These are just opportunities I mentioned the two two new opportunities a booming event the industry for the ones who Create awesome social gatherings aimed at connection and a new manual for managers To to learn how to evaluate employees who aren't in the office and Someone out there right now will spot these opportunities and act to create a future success story It's Monday, and it's 2020 I'll see you in the future and Hey, hey, hey if you want more videos Hit that like button and make sure to subscribe
