Beyond the Office: 4 Ways to Network Remotely

Beyond the Office: 4 Ways to Network Remotely Source – https://www.cnn.com One of the benefits of working in person is being able to easily network with colleagues because you have built a strong connection. While working from home has many benefits, it reduces the number of in-person networking opportunities. Building relationships with coworkers and establishing new connections with those you would typically network with can be challenging when working remotely. Because networking is an integral part of career advancement, it is essential to prioritize it, even in a remote environment. Trying to network remotely provides more opportunities than in-person networking because you can connect with individuals around the globe. Some ways to network when working remotely include attending virtual events, utilizing coworking spaces, group work, and social media. Attend virtual Events Attending virtual events is a great way to network while working remotely. Over the last few years, virtual networking opportunities have become more popular, allowing professionals to connect with others in their industries across the globe. Many virtual events offer breakout rooms to communicate with other attendees, share experiences, and ask questions. Attending virtual events also allows you to hear keynote speakers in your field who you might have yet to have the opportunity to see in person. You can listen to them speak at the event and follow up with them through LinkedIn or email. It can also be beneficial to attend virtual networking events for a career you are interested in, learn more about that field, and connect with people who might help you achieve that goal. Utilize coworking spaces Utilizing coworking spaces is a great way to network with others while working remotely. By trying out a shared workspace with professionals from different companies, you can share ideas and build relationships that may benefit your career. Coworking spaces have a wide variety of professionals using the same space, so it can be an excellent opportunity to learn from others and stay current on what is happening in their industry. You will also meet new people, which could lead to new business opportunities and partnerships. Coworking spaces offer a sense of community you otherwise might not get when working remotely. If your office uses a hybrid work model, where you spend some days in the office and some days working remotely, be sure to make the...

It Gets Better Project releases new content for LGBTQ+ youth

It Gets Better Project releases new content for LGBTQ+ youth

The It Gets Better Project has released a new digital content series called Queer Sex Ed. It is a five-part, longform video series that highlights important conversations about sexual health. The project aims to talk about topics not discussed in schools due to restrictive sex education policies. These are also often suppressed by social media platforms and search engines. The US only has 17 states with medically-accurate, age-appropriate sex education. Queer Sex Ed provides sex education to queer youth who lack access to this necessary and potentially life-saving information. Queer Sex Ed features real people having candid conversations about the often embarrassing and misleading sex-ed misconceptions they had as kids. It also talks about their real-life experiences and learnings as sexually-active adults. And it even includes discussions with professional sex educators who provide context to the topics being discussed. The sex educators featured within the series are sexologist Dr. Lexx Brown-James and sexuality educator Melina Gaze. “This new series is a bold and intimate look into how folks within our community first learned about sex and dives into conversations that we normally have amongst our friend groups in private,” said Eboni Munn, It Gets Better Project’s Director, Brand Marketing, Content & Creative. “What makes Queer Sex Ed so special is that it provides an in-depth look into the conversations happening in our living rooms or at our kitchen tables with close friends and it leaves takeways for our viewers to ask questions and/or reignite conversations within their own circles.” “Queerness is painstakingly missing from curricula in schools. Projects like It Gets Better Queer Sex Ed look to stand in the gap,” said Dr. Lexx. “Queer Sex Ed brings together friends of various social groups, body sizes, identities and relationship statuses to have conversations about navigating life. I worked alongside another sexuality professional, Melina Gaze, to help frame the conversation by adding facts, discerning when something is fiction and supporting the queer narrative from mental health and global perspectives.” Partnerships To further amplify the series, the It Gets Better Project has partnered with Gen-Z focused LGBTQ media outlet INTO (Q Digital) and queer social network Hornet. The series will be published on itgetsbetter.org and the It Gets Better Project’s YouTube channel with additional content promoting the series available on the It Gets Better Project’s TikTok and Instagram. As with all the It Gets Better Project’s original series, Queer Sex Ed will be accompanied by a free for download EDUGuide companion to better allow educators...
