> “It is 1 in the morning and I should be heading to bed, but I just wanna share this: In a review of our remote working in my company yesterday I went on a long and controversial rant on how much I miss the human factor in meetings after everything was moved online, how much I miss meeting people that I didn’t plan to meet (which also has made me feel that these couple of months have been one big echo chamber) and that I hadn’t been in one meeting that had really “lifted me”. Most online meetings had been efficient; none have been effective. Tonight that changed. So grateful!”
> — Executive Vice President, DNB Bank ASA *(via London Speaker Bureau)*
