class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I\u2019ve actually settled into working from home pretty comfortably.\u00a0 I\u2019m enjoying spending more time with Linda and the boys and I\u2019m finding I can put more time into work and still have time to myself to enjoy and relax!\u00a0<\/p><p>Every morning starts with a cup of tea and individual 15-mins SCRUMS with each member of our sales team starting at 8:45. Ryan and I split up the team, and rotate team members every week to help us manage our time and keep a personal connection with each team member.\u00a0 We also have frequent team meetings throughout the week (Monday Meeting, weekly training sessions, daily SCRUMS, etc\u2026) to keep everyone feeling like we\u2019re still a team and connected in some way.\u00a0 Because we\u2019re a new team with novice staff, it\u2019s important that we\u2019re keeping in close contact to help them keep things moving or navigate through difficult processes, conversations and situations.\u00a0 To help this, we have a SLACK channel setup to allow for quick non-business critical communications and video-conferencing needed for any in-depth meetings.\u00a0 Usually, Ryan and I connect to recap at the end of the day to chat about our what\u2019s been going on, flag any concerns and plan for the next day and week.<\/p><p>With the kids at home all the time, it spices up my day.\u00a0 It gives me two more hands to clean and cook!\u00a0 In the mornings, my son Ryan will sit at my desk and we\u2019ll do work \/ homework together.\u00a0 Sometimes we\u2019ll crack jokes, which is fun.\u00a0 In the first weeks I found the kids interested in my conversations with clients, so I\u2019m teaching them how to conduct presentations.\u00a0 I\u2019ve given them a presentation framework, taught them how to categorize their thoughts and research, structure their content. Now every Saturday, after breakfast, we get the Fam on a video conference and the kids present their materials and we all get to ask questions and give them feedback.\u00a0 Fun way to teach the kids some skills and bring the Fam together.<\/p><p>Linda also seems busier than me.\u00a0 They\u2019re releasing a healthcare app that has COVID-19 modules, so they\u2019re selling their solution like wildfire, mostly to government right now, and she\u2019s responsible for the department creating all the clinical content for their app.\u00a0 Since she\u2019s in meeting most of the days, we\u2019ve separated the house.\u00a0 She gets the front half and I get the back half.<\/p><p>No stress and anxiety from me. Going a little stir-crazy feeling like Groundhog Day now.\u00a0 I\u2019m fighting through that by enjoying the little things in life that I never had time to enjoy before (morning teas, eating dinners together as a family, chats with the kids, etc\u2026).\u00a0 I also try to keep the team sane by having as many non-work conversations as possible.\u00a0 Just knowing how busy things are and them being physically alone, I know these non-work conversations get them out of their head and having a few laughs with me.\u00a0<\/p><p>Thanks for asking us to share!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-90b2119 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"90b2119\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ddb89c7\" data-id=\"ddb89c7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ca4cf13 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ca4cf13\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Share Roy's Story:<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-9d24f3a\" data-id=\"9d24f3a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0dbcaaf elementor-widget elementor-widget-share-buttons\" data-id=\"0dbcaaf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"share-buttons.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 Staff Stories Back to COVID-19 Staff Stories I\u2019ve actually settled into working from home pretty comfortably.\u00a0 I\u2019m enjoying spending more time with Linda and the boys and I\u2019m finding I can put more time into work and still have time to myself to enjoy and relax!\u00a0 Every morning starts with a cup of tea [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":27529,"parent":27338,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":[],"categories":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27503"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27503"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27503\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27563,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27503\/revisions\/27563"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/27338"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27503"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.delvinia.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
