Special
Home working Hello team, and welcome back to a new edition of the Creative Impact Magazine. Needless to say, the last few weeks have been incredibly challenging for so many of us. Both our collective members and the wider community has been shaken by this global pandemic. I am a realist at heart, so I know how important it is to be informed, be adaptable and keep yourselves safe. However, I am also a relatively positive lady, so I thought my contribution to this current climate and pandemic is one of trying to offer my support where I can through Creative Impact. Yes, we’ll have to adapt and adjust the way we work, interact and socialise. Yep, it’s going to be a hell of an adjustment. Yet, what can you do/implement/make time for when working from home (studying from home etc) and keep a happy environment? Once again, I am not qualified to provide any health advice, but I can help with what I know the best, which is in the areas of business management, marketing, and productivity.
FOREWORD
Coaching and consulting with people on creating better systems is my job, the Creative Impact team is pretty much remote so why should we not help where we can? This is why we have been working HARD on this free issue of our digital magazine, with a whole section about working from home and how to navigate these uncertain times. A massive thanks also goes to all the contributors who took the time to support us with amazing articles you’ll see in this edition of the magazine. What I do know is that everyone has been plunged into a new working reality by the pandemic,and this will influence and change working practices in the longer term. More than ever the line between work life and home life is blurred. Work culture and
overall expectations are changing and shifting faster than ever before. You’ll learn about the challenges and lessons I learned when I started working from home eight years ago, including how to create new routines, how to balance work and social life, and much more. As this pandemic is forcing us to change our work space and ultimately showing us what down time really is, as a collective we are forced to ask ourselves powerful questions, including what really matters when it comes to our work as well as deeper meaning. Hope you are all staying safe, supporting people who need it and keep your spirits high.
