Video Summary

The webinar, hosted by Jasmine Thompson for APS, focused on adapting to working from home nearly one year into the pandemic. Guest speaker Angie, founder and CEO of Women in Tech Forum, discussed the mental, emotional, and practical challenges of prolonged remote work, including loneliness, blurred work-life boundaries, fatigue, and burnout. Poll results showed that the biggest issues for attendees were lack of social interaction and unclear boundaries between work and home life. Angie shared research indicating that working from home is negatively affecting many employees’ mental well-being.<br /><br />She offered five simple daily rituals to improve energy and productivity: create a morning routine, set clear work boundaries, take mindful breaks, limit device time, and build an evening routine that supports sleep and reflection. She also recommended phone calls, walking meetings, communicating availability, and recreating informal “water cooler” chats to reduce isolation.<br /><br />Angie emphasized that sales professionals must shift from time management to energy management, and adapt to a more digital, buyer-centric sales environment. She noted that the future of B2B sales will be increasingly digital, with more purposeful in-person meetings. The session ended with a Q&A on maintaining routines and supporting less digitally advanced customers.
