One of the things I learnt along the way is that a good work\/life balance and relationship with digital technology may look a little different for everyone but that the journey how we get there is similar. That\u2019s why I designed this course: to share practical tips that you can use to find ways to make hybrid working really work for you (or you team or organisation) in the long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been great to see the course attract lots of listens and interaction. Although I do encourage people to register for free, only about half of the people participating in the course do. Others prefer to simply subscribe to the podcast to listen along and explore at their own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The topics for the course resonated well with participants, especially those designed to help manage digital overwhelm and setting life\/work boundaries. Plus, I really enjoyed recording these as well, which is an added bonus!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course resources and podcasts are now freely available and you can explore topics at your own pace.

Practically all my work in this area since the publication of the book has happened around the edges of my day job, and especially until the end of September that was a very full on commitment. Since focusing full time on my free-lance work I have had a little more scope to take on paid work in this space, and thus give this topic a bit more time in my day to day work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every now and then I get an email or a message or someone speaks to me at a conference about something valuable they found in the book, something that helped them in their work or opened up a new perspective and it always, always makes my day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have chosen not to publish the book commercially, instead going the Open Access route with the book and all the resources and courses I have published since, because I want as many people as possible to learn from the mistakes I made and the experiences I recount, and find a better way to manage blended, hybrid and virtual organisations. One downside is however that I have not much data about how many people engage with the work I do, and with an ever more fragmented social media landscape getting a feel for one&#8217;s reach is more challenging still. Which is why I value it so much when folk do share some feedback or send me a message. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All in all, it&#8217;s been a fun and rewarding year working towards putting the book into practice and making the ideas in it available to a larger audience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:20px\" class=\"wp-block-tnp-minimal\"><p><strong><strong>Enjoyed this post?
