  Hi, I'm Bianca logger.

• 00:02 - 00:04

  I'm the president of Social Intelligence and

• 00:04 - 00:06

  I'm also a linkedin learning instructor.

• 00:06 - 00:08

  I have a few courses on linkedin learning um that

• 00:08 - 00:11

  talk about remote work and talk about presentation skills.

• 00:11 - 00:15

  So I'm here today to share my very top tip from my popular course.

• 00:15 - 00:16

  How to stand out remotely.

• 00:16 - 00:18

  You can find how to stand out

• 00:18 - 00:22

  remotely within linkedin learning's Pathfinder for hybrid work

• 00:22 - 00:23

  today on Crazy,

• 00:23 - 00:26

  we're here to provide little tips and tricks

• 00:26 - 00:29

  on communication and collaboration and hybrid meetings.

• 00:30 - 00:35

  So one of my very favorite hybrid work tips tools etcetera

• 00:35 - 00:40

  is a digitized to do list. This really helps you stay organized.

• 00:40 - 00:43

  It's really paramount for me when I'm preparing for meetings or even

• 00:43 - 00:46

  during the meeting if I need to drop some notes down.

• 00:46 - 00:49

  So one of my favorite things to tell people is to

• 00:49 - 00:51

  make sure you find an app that works for you.

• 00:51 - 00:55

  Some of the key features I think are important are

• 00:55 - 00:57

  ones that you can sink to from device device,

• 00:57 - 00:59

  so something that's on the cloud,

• 00:59 - 01:03

  something that you can access within a browser, your laptop, your mobile phone,

• 01:03 - 01:05

  tablet, whatever you are.

• 01:05 - 01:07

  Um as we know in hybrid work environments,

• 01:07 - 01:09

  sometimes you're jumping from here there and everywhere.

• 01:09 - 01:11

  So you need to be able to have that thing with you

• 01:11 - 01:14

  all the time and not just lug around a big old notebook,

• 01:14 - 01:17

  like we've all probably done in the past,

• 01:17 - 01:22

  make sure that your app has some bliss preferably folders where you can organize

• 01:22 - 01:26

  things by projects or um departments or whatever it is that you're running.

• 01:26 - 01:29

  You need to kind of organize um what your lists are all about.

• 01:29 - 01:33

  Uh deadline features are really helpful, especially if it sinks to your calendar.

• 01:33 - 01:37

  That way you can make sure you stay on task and kind of have an organized

• 01:37 - 01:41

  way to know what you need before a meeting to know what you need to prep for

• 01:41 - 01:45

  a meeting or to know what you need maybe when you're going to be in person

• 01:45 - 01:50

  and you need to bring some stuff to a meeting versus when you're doing it remotely.

• 01:50 - 01:54

  My favorite app is google tasks. I also used to do cloud.

• 01:54 - 01:56

  I use that actually from my home kind of personal stuff.

• 01:56 - 01:58

  I collaborate with my husband on that.

• 01:58 - 02:01

  One kind of coordinating kids schedules and things like that.

• 02:01 - 02:03

  Um other ones I've used in the past are a little more elaborate,

• 02:03 - 02:06

  especially for projects or Evernote dump Odio.

• 02:06 - 02:12

  Um one key key part of digitizing your to do list especially in a hybrid environment.

• 02:12 - 02:13

  This is super important.

• 02:13 - 02:19

  Make sure that you have your company department team and individual goals in there.

• 02:19 - 02:23

  Make sure you just keep that in there constantly. So you have visibility to it.

• 02:23 - 02:25

  You can access it at any time

• 02:25 - 02:30

  and it's a constant reminder for you to stay on task with what those goals are,

• 02:30 - 02:33

  especially with hybrid work and remote work.

• 02:33 - 02:38

  We can really lose focus on how we connect to the bigger picture of the company

• 02:38 - 02:41

  and this can especially kind of slip through

• 02:41 - 02:42

  the wayside when you're just sort of focused

• 02:42 - 02:45

  on your work and you get into the weeds of your day to day tasks,

• 02:45 - 02:50

  make sure you have constant reminders of how those tasks feed into those bigger,

• 02:50 - 02:51

  larger goals.

• 02:51 - 02:54

  This is also really good tool for you to prepare

• 02:54 - 02:57

  for meetings with your manager or meetings with larger teams

• 02:58 - 03:01

  because what you're trying to advocate for yourself and career

• 03:01 - 03:04

  growth always is how you're contributing to the bigger picture.

• 03:04 - 03:07

  So very important and very vital and just a really great

• 03:07 - 03:10

  easy way for you to always keep those goals in sight.

• 03:10 - 03:15

  Um last but certainly not least make sure that this app provides some visibility.

• 03:15 - 03:17

  So if you are the manager,

• 03:17 - 03:20

  this is nice because you can share your list and maybe delegate some tasks,

• 03:21 - 03:25

  um you can share with your team what you're working on, what's important to you,

• 03:25 - 03:28

  anytime that you're in a hybrid work environment.

• 03:28 - 03:30

  Um you want to make sure that you're constantly communicating,

• 03:30 - 03:33

  especially when you're in the remote part of the work.

• 03:33 - 03:37

  Um and you're sort of away from that physical visibility.

• 03:37 - 03:39

  You want to make sure that people have a

• 03:39 - 03:42

  little bit of insight into what you're working on.

• 03:42 - 03:43

  It can help with

• 03:43 - 03:46

  asking for help. And it can also help with just

• 03:47 - 03:50

  showing and proving the advocacy again,

• 03:50 - 03:53

  um for the value that you're bringing to the team and to the company.

• 03:53 - 03:56

  Um, so that's it for me, really quick tip tip.
