  Sep 15, 202644 min

  Today we'll hear from Gary Rudman. Gary is president of GTR Consulting, the market research firm that the Fortune 1000 rely on to understand kids, teens, young adults, and their parents. GTR Consulting conducts custom, qualitative market research used to build brands, develop products, and support advertising campaigns. Gary is informally known as the Gen Z Whisperer! For over 25 years, Gary has helped his clients better understand the kid, teen, and young adult market, which is his speciality. I wanted to speak to Gary for 2 reasons. Firstly, with the ongoing shift in ways of working, I wanted to hear where Gen Z and Gen Alpha fit in, and if remote work is something that genuinely appeals to them. Secondly, earlier this year, Gary and his wife embarked on an epic trip of over 5,000 miles across several states in the US, taking in breathtaking scenery, hiking and working, of course, exclusively remotely... all from a trusty campervan!Chatting with the Gen Z whisperer didn't disappoint! #FutureOfWork #RemoteWork #GenZ #GenAlpha #HybridWork #WorkplaceCulture #Leadership #FutureOfLeadership #EmployeeEngagement #WorkLifeBalance #CareerTrends #AIandWork #DigitalWorkplace #WorkplaceCommunication #RemoteLeadership #ChangingWorkplace #FutureCareers #GenZAtWork #ModernWorkplace #WorkFromAnywhere GTR Consulting website: https://gtrconsulting.com/#gtr-consulting Gary also founded The FLY Story Slam, a storytelling community in California: https://theflystoryslam.com/ Gary recommends the following newsletters and blogs to keep up with Gen Z news: https://www.ypulse.com/ https://www.collagegroup.com/insights-newsletter-subscribe Mosaic Gold has published an online course, downloadable resources, and a free app to assist you on your remote-work journey.

  EP25: VIRTUAL RECRUITMENT MANAGER - BELLE RESURECCION works remotely

  Jul 14, 202642 min

  Today, we’ll hear from Belle Resurreccion, a freelance recruitment professional based in Manila, in the Philippines, who works with various teams around the globe. I first reached out to Belle on LinkedIn back in February after she posted a brilliant comment about the importance of accountability, discipline, and taking ownership of your role when working remotely, and naturally, that really resonated with me. Shortly afterwards, we scheduled to meet and had this insightful, inspiring conversation about developing and growing a remote career. As I recently edited this episode ahead of its release this month, I was reminded just how much I enjoyed speaking with Belle and what a great example she is of someone who has crafted her own unique approach to work. It’s an approach that suits her, allows her to truly be herself, and helps her thrive. In fact, since our conversation, I’ve already used one quote from this episode during my appearance as a speaker at the Alicante Nomad Summit; just one powerful quote among many. #RemotelyInterested #RemoteWork #RemoteWorking #FreelanceLife #RemoteCareer #WorkFromAnywhere #BelleResurreccion #FreelanceRecruiter #VirtualAssistant #PhilippinesFreelancer #RemoteWorkTips #WorkLifeIntegration #RemoteWorkBoundaries #GlobalOpportunities #FutureOfWork (00:00) Introducing Belle (03:10) Upwork for starting and building a remote career (04:44) Getting comfortable with remote work and learning to adjust (10:20) Why Belle chose not to return to office-based work (13:55) Amazing global opportunities from the Philippines (16:33) “Being reliable doesn’t mean always being available” (22:03) Communicating with sincerity (24:04) Why kindness matters in remote teams (30:06) Mosaic Gold Plate Surprise Question (34:53) Co-working spaces, coffee shops, and finding the right work environment (37:25) Creating your own circle of remote colleagues (38:22) The growth of remote work in the Philippines (39:14) Follow Belle!
