How to Thrive in a More Virtual World

A working from home masterclass from Harriet Minter

Virtually every industry is making lasting changes that will open doors to a more flexible working week. So how do we adjust, thrive and excel in an environment where glitchy daily video conferences are the norm? How do you build a working life that works for you?
