Preview: Cathy Lyttle (and adapting to work from home amid Covid-19)

Cathy Lyttle's dining room table is now the "HR command center" for Columbus manufacturer Worthington Industries. Lyttle, whose job as Worthington's human resources chief is just one component of her wide-reaching influence in Central Ohio's business community, joined me for the first fully remote episode of our Women of Influence podcast. (She and I chatted about near the end of March, an important note to keep in mind as we talk about how long we've been turning our homes into our workplaces.) We'll air Lyttle's full interview next week, but for now are sharing a snippet in which she talks about how she's managed the transition to working from home herself – and how Worthington is working to protect factory workers who can't make their dining room tables their command centers. You'll also hear my own lessons and observations from nearly a month, now, of working from home. Spoiler alert: I've already failed to live up to one of the resolutions I set for myself in the episode, as the slight self-esteem boost of putting on makeup has not been enough to outweigh my at-home laziness.
