91: Water Nerds Guide to Remote Working
The Rogue Water, LLC team has worked remotely for 2.5 years. They have customers across the country, but also a remote team spread out across multiple cities in Texas, San Francisco, and Wyoming. There are a plethora of resources about remote working available now because of the impacts of Covid-19. However, in true form, we wanted to give you our perspective in our own way. We are joined by Rogue Water’s Chief Revolution Strategist, Nashelley Kaplan-Dailey.
Top Takeaways

- Routine is your friend.
- Place matters. Create your space.
- Give yourself (and others) some grace.
- Test tech in advance.
- Try new tools. We love Slack.
