Overcoming bias as a Military Spouse, and Learning How to Network Remotely

With us today is Cleo Haynal. Cleo is the director of lifecycle marketing at Alation. She is also a military spouse who has been benefitting from remote work opportunities long before the pandemic normalized it, and has amazing advice for getting the most out of remote workspaces with her networking tricks and tips.  

Big Takeaways: 

1. Two major challenges to employees are that we put a premium on geography that isn't necessarily there, and we judge people's loyalty on external criteria that don’t necessarily correlate to being a high-performing employee.  
2. “Whenever I attend a company-wide meeting, I try to write down the name of a person I have not connected with before, and just reach out to them.” 
3. Consider negotiating your job description to focus on things that interest you.
