WHO AM I?
If we haven't yet before - Hey 👋 my name is Erin. I'm a 47-year-old mom of three, and I've managed to balance having a big career while being there for my family. As a former tech executive, I learned firsthand how to juggle professional success with personal commitments. Now, I'm here to share my lessons and insights to help you thrive in both your career and personal life.

DETAILED VIDEO INSIGHTS

Dedicated Space: The importance of having a dedicated space where you can switch into work mode matters more than you think. It helps you separate work life and personal life, which is key for productivity. Let's talk about home office setups. Using a good ergonomic chair and a comfortable desk setup can prevent long-term health issues. You don't want to end up with back pain from a cheap chair!

Minimizing distractions: If you have kids at home or share your space with others, creating boundaries is crucial. I use a sign on my door to let my family know when not to disturb me. It helps keep my workspace quiet and my productivity high.

Maintaining productivity: in a work-from-home setup can be tough. Having a routine helps. I start my day at the same time every day, plan my tasks, and use time management tools like the Pomodoro Technique. These tools help me stay on track and make the most of my time.

Overwork: Avoiding overwork is another challenge of remote work. It's easy to blur the lines between work and personal time. Setting boundaries and sticking to a schedule can help. Show the quality of your work through consistent delivery without working unhealthy hours.

Professional presentation matters: even when working from home. Dressing up as if you're going to the office can boost your confidence and make you feel more professional. It's a small change that can have a big impact.

Maintaining connections: When you're remote, you miss out on water cooler chats and office camaraderie. Schedule regular check-ins with your team and make an effort to connect with colleagues online. If possible, visit the office occasionally to build those relationships.

In "WFH vs. Office: What I Realized After 13 Years at Home," I share these insights to help you navigate the challenges of remote work. Whether you're working from home or returning to the office, these tips will help you thrive.
