"Let's do a podcast to help people master working from home". That was the suggestion I made to my dear friend and co-host Mel Rosenthal on Wednesday 18 March 2020.

The show launched the following Monday.

We want to share how we pulled it together in five days and how we deliver five episodes each week.

Read the full story here.

AND we want to leave you with this tip for today. Creative side-hustles generate positive energy so think less about how much time you don't have and think more about the joy that can come with being creativity.

So here's the thing. It's OK to whinge. Today't tip is to read the team, be on the lookout for issues starting to simmer and invite the team to whinge and get it off their chest.

Have you done this with your team? Did it work?

Today's tip is to ask your team (perhaps once a week over a month) what they would like to hold onto in terms of working from home. It will no doubt inform the return to work strategy!

So our question to you is, 'how are you thinking about your team's return to work strategy?'
