As 2020 comes to a close, it’s clear that working from home is likely to become the new normal for many of us moving forward. And while there are definitely some perks (hello wearing comfy slippers all day!), it also means we’re facing a brave new world of long-distance networking and potentially awkward Zoom chats – which can be every introvert’s worst nightmare!
But that doesn’t mean you can’t make WFH suit you. Workplace expert Michelle Gibbings explains how …
ZOOM 101
Gibbings says Zoom meetings can be especially draining for introverts who often have to make an extra effort so their voice is heard. “Sitting down and participating in online meetings all day is exhausting,” she explains. “For introverts, these feelings are exacerbated.”
If this sounds like you, Gibbings suggests scheduling a few mini-breaks into your day to reflect and recharge. “Also, consider that not all conversations need to be face to face; some are equally as effective when you pick up the phone and chat,” she adds.
