Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Dr. Diane Lennard discuss the following:

  1. Can you tell us about your remote experiences that led you to write this book?
  2. You write that humanizing the remote experience involves meeting the innate human needs for connection: safety and comfort, understanding, and belonging. What are some of the warning signals that a particular need is not being met?
  3. What are some ways to effectively manage our energy, avoid cognitive overload, and prevent burnout when interacting virtually?
  4. What does taking a human-centered approach to the remote experience involve, and what are specific ways we can prioritize the human side of work, learning, and social interactions?
  5. As an educator and communication coach working remotely and in person, what are some of the differences between interacting in a 2-D environment and in person?
  6. How can we adapt our ways of interacting remotely to meet the human need for belonging?
