Staying Mindful When You’re Working Remotely

This article was fantastic! During these unprecedented times, virtual meetings have become the best way to gather the team, collaborate, and move business forward. With so many virtual meetings – personal as well as professional, there are down sides. During your virtual meeting, if you feel “rushed, distracted, checking emails, sending a text, or scheduling a meeting,” the meeting participants can pick up on your distraction.
