Remote, In-Person or Hybrid? Choosing How Your Business Should Work

Send us Fan MailBusiness coaching changed almost overnight in 2020, but the lasting lesson was not that everything should move online.It was that business owners needed to become much more deliberate about where and how work happened.Recorded during the global shift to remote working, this episode captures Peter Boolkah’s early assessment of virtual coaching, online meetings, remote offices, webinars and digital networking.Peter explains why clients who had previously resisted video coaching quickly embraced it, how removing unnecessary travel gave them valuable time back and why he eventually decided that maintaining a large office no longer made commercial sense.However, he also discovered that not every business activity translates equally well to a screen.One-to-one coaching worked exceptionally well online. Eight-to-ten-hour strategic planning sessions with executive teams did not deliver the same energy, focus or engagement.In this episode, you’ll discover:Why clients who resisted video calls quickly changed their habitsHow remote delivery can reduce travel and unnecessary overheadWhat a professional virtual working environment requiresWhy networking, events and webinars moved onlineWhy your digital visibility must support your operating modelWhich conversations work particularly well virtuallyWhy intensive strategic planning may still be better face-to-faceHow to find the right balance between remote and in-person workingThe question is no longer whether work can happen online.It is which work belongs online, which conversations need to happen in the room and how your delivery model can protect time without weakening relationships, energy or execution.For founders, that distinction matters. Moving online can improve productivity, but it only contributes to freedom when the business also has the systems, people and processes to operate without depending on the owner for everything.CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
