NLP and hypnosis, as I am a Qualified Hypnotherapist) Longer story: My career spans almost 25 years of professional industry experience in tech and global communications. I started RoRemote - my solopreneur Remote Skills training and consultancy company - in 2018, before the pandemic. My lived experience is why I have such a passion for Remote Work: In 2015 my daughter developed severe childhood asthma, so bad that we moved from Dublin, Ireland, to Zaragoza, Spain, to improve her health and also enhance our overall lifestyle as a family. Remote Work enabled that move. Hence my passion for its socioeconomic influence, the power of global mobility and the flexibility it offers. However, I advocate for the need to embrace and use that flexibility wisely with a focus on individual worker wellbeing and life-work-integration: โRemote work has enabled me to live in many countries, travel extensively and find life-work balance. I relish in being an advocate and a leader on the education and skills needed for effective remote work practices โ Check out my Linkedin Profile for current client contracts, commissions and testimonials. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read this. Reminder: The Future of Work is already here, it is called Remote Work.
