Many Cisco teams are still operating in a remote capacity. What skills do you think it takes to be an effective remote worker?

"My current role has been completely remote for the past two years, so I feel like I've developed a solid skillset to deal with the challenges of remote work. To be an effective remote worker, I think it's crucial to maintain regular check-ins with team members through video meetings to ensure collaboration and promote connection. Having a sense of intrinsic motivation and a diligent work ethic are both important as well. Both of these skills have allowed me to be successful in my current fully remote role."

"An effective remote worker is a communicative self-starter who is comfortable with working independently. I find that I am most focused when I am working on a project independently, which makes remote work a good fit for me. It's also important to maintain a steady stream of communication with colleagues as it's easier for details to fall through the cracks when the team isn't in the office together."
