How is the course set up?

I've included both written and video components for you. Discover:

6 Modules – each with its own fillable workbook of helpful strategies and practices you can implement. Each section also includes coaching questions to prompt deeper thinking. There is no one way to do things; the goal is to uncover the best way for you.

20 Videos – Supporting each module are short videos I’ve crafted to bring each point to life.

Supporting Documents  - Downloadable tools to help you take action.

Invitation to Join the You, Better! Community - Be part of a Facebook group of like-minded professionals for sharing and support.

How long will it take me?

MODULES: The modules are just over 10,000 words. If you read 250 words per minute, I estimate it taking about 40 minutes to read. Read at the rate you comprehend well.

COACHING QUESTIONS: These questions are meant to be read and investigated with time and attention. Invite patience for this piece to allow the level of exploration that will serve you best. In this case, what you get out will reflect the effort you put in. Don’t be afraid to dance through the discomfort for that is where the growth is.

VIDEOS: The videos add up to just under 90 minutes and are anywhere from about 2 minutes to almost 7.

Who am I to talk about this?

Clare with the hosts of the show The Social
Clare with the dynamic hosts of "The Social"

You may know me as a productivity coach and before that as a professional organizer having regularly contributed to international media over the past ten years. Not only have I shared my strategies and practices for organization and productivity, but I've also been able to share my passion for seeing others successfully integrate work and life.

You may not know that prior to establishing my own business I spent over 15 years in the corporate world, much of it working from home successfully. In fact, I left the corporate world when my boss just couldn’t find her way to supporting my working from home, not even a little bit.

A thread throughout my career has been respecting humanity in the workplace. There is no greater need for it than right now.

Why does being able to work well from home matter?

I have long been a fan and supporter of working from home as the key to rich work-life integration. The opportunity to turn your commute plus time getting dressed for the office into self-care, meaningful family interaction, a much-loved hobby, or contributions to the community leads to a richer and healthier life.

I believe that figuring out how to do it well now will set more people up for success to continue working remotely at their desired level, even after people have been invited back to the office. These skills will serve you for a lifetime.

Why facts and a coach approach?

Facts will help you learn what you need to know. The coaching questions embedded in the course will help you take specific actions that will work for you. Coaching invites shifts in thinking that have a big impact not only on performance but also on well-being. Uncover what you need for a more productive and pleasurable experience working from home.

What's the best way to consume this course?

You can go through the course in order or dive into the topic that is most pressing for you.

My recommendation is to take bites instead of binge.

Binge – At about two hours and fifteen minutes to read the workbooks and watch the videos, you can consume all the content in an afternoon. The greatest value is in the time you allot for reflection on the changes you wish to make and planning for implementation.

Take Bites:  Choose the module that is most pressing for you to address. Read the module and watch the videos. Reflect on the coaching questions. Capture the actions you want to take and schedule them if you can. Move onto the next module when you’re ready.

how do you build connection with a dispersed workf how do you build connection with a dispersed workforce?
that’s exactly what Sally Page, co-founder of @work.tripp and I explore in the latest episode of the Happy Space Podcast.

“there is something very beautiful that happens when a team comes together in terms of their motivation and their kind of performance, when they really come together with purpose…but it’s really hard to do”

and i think it’s important to recognize that simply being together in an office, does not connection make. Dr. Vivek Murthy, when he was the 19th Surgeon General in the US, called out loneliness as an epidemic - before the pandemic. 

Sally recommends:

🧠intentionally crafting connection by building experiences, especially out of the office.

📅choosing a cadence depending on the growth stage of the team or project. quarterly is often ideal.

🎯 focusing on one key thing during the offsite. connection itself can be the goal.

🌳getting out into nature. many studies reveal the benefits and a change of scenery is more memorable.

what are you noticing about building connection at work?

"stay away from the extroverts" said, Tom Peters w "stay away from the extroverts" said, Tom Peters
wait, what? this extrovert had a moment in our podcast interview.

read on to find out what happened in our conversation and why now, Tom says, “look for the quiet and sensitive”!

when I read "Tom Peters' Compact Guide to Excellence", my jaw dropped when he proclaimed that Susan Cain's book "Quiet" is the best business book of this century. the book opened Tom's eyes to the value of quiet, introverted people which had been completely missing from his and many organization's thinking.

in our conversation, when Tom suggested we "stay away from extroverts", being extroverted myself, i was compelled to lobby for sensitive extroverts and offer a counter-thought:

what if it isn't introversion and "quiet" that we need to value?

(i have rarely been accused of being too quiet, despite my middle name meaning "peace" - nice try, mum and dad!)

what if it is sensitivity?

highly sensitive people are superb noticers, process information more deeply, and are adept at synthesizing information. they also innately bring the much-needed empathy required in today’s challenging work world. the 30% of sensitive people who are extroverts (6% of the general population) are a special asset to any organization.

that said, HSPs also need more time to rest and recover during the work day. without that, we are at risk of burning out.

Tom reflects, "I said to somebody, I'm so sensitive to what's going on that I'm always overloading."

Tom immediately revised his "linguistic expression" to say, "look for the quiet and sensitive". I guess I ought to still work on being a bit quieter. ☺

have a listen as Tom and I explore what he calls “extreme humanism”. if we can create work experiences that respect humanity, imagine what we can accomplish.

we can definitely use more Tom Peters-like people in the world.

i'd love to hear what you think. please comment below or on your fave podcast platform.

Tom Peters has been revered in the world of busine Tom Peters has been revered in the world of business management ever since releasing the 1982 book In Search of Excellence with co-author Robert Waterman. selling shy of 5 million copies, it is recognized as one of the most influential management works.

in our conversation, we explore Tom’s deep respect for humanity which he refers to as Extreme Humanism. we dive into sensitivity, his fondness for “quiet” people, inclusivity, and the power of female leaders. we tackle the challenges of managing by zooming around and the need for a new kind of leader. 

while some understand a different leadership mindset is required for the current world of work, many don’t. we are, indeed, still in search of excellence.

a few hours drive east along the lake and happy to a few hours drive east along the lake and happy to be meeting my clients in Kingston. 

you’ll hear me talking a lot about remote work but sometimes it really is worth travelling to be in person. 

i encourage leaders to be intentional about why they bring people together in person. mix task and team, content and connection, function and fun and there is a greater chance employees will want to participate. 

#acknowledgetheask and make it worthwhile to show up. 

budget for the travel time, energy and expense required. recognize you’re making a withdrawal on personal time. 

design for well-being and performance will flow…
