Summary

As an extroverted Product Manager at Zapier, Bethany has found it challenging to thrive in an all-remote work environment due to the lack of in-person social interaction. To combat this, she prioritizes social activities such as running groups and meetups, which help her recharge and maintain energy levels. She also emphasizes the importance of putting on shoes in the morning to set a positive tone for the day, leveraging technology like digital whiteboards and video conferencing tools to replicate in-person collaboration, engaging with her remote team through daily interactions and pair chats, and asking for help when needed to address feelings of loneliness and isolation. By adopting these best practices, extroverts on all-remote teams can find ways to thrive and maintain their energy levels despite the challenges of remote work.
