Description


In this bonus Q&A edit, Jess tackles a big question many leaders face today: How do you build culture when no one’s physically together? From creating intentional “triggers” that replace watercooler chats, to using recognition, leadership presence, and virtual touchpoints to keep teams connected, Jess shares practical strategies for sustaining culture and engagement in remote-first organizations.
