Impact Night Online w/ Megan Zakrzewski & Phillip Wyness — Remote Work, Rewired: How to work, build, and get hired in a digital-first world
Remote work is no longer a perk or a lifestyle choice.
It is a global operating model and a global talent market.
This Impact Night Online brings together three complementary perspectives to help you stay effective, trusted, and competitive in a digital-first world.
We will look at remote work as it actually functions today. Not the myths. Not the LinkedIn slogans. The real mechanics behind performance, collaboration, and hiring when no one shares an office.
You will learn
How to work remotely without burning out or underperforming
How distributed teams build trust, clarity, and momentum
How people actually get hired remotely in a low-trust, global market
The session is practical, experience-driven, and designed for people who want fewer theories and more usable signals.
What we will cover
Working well remotely
How physical setup, energy management, and boundaries affect focus, health, and long-term performance.
Why many productivity systems fail in remote environments and what tends to work instead.
Building and operating remote teams
Why trust is inferred rather than observed in distributed work.
How clarity replaces charisma and why communication quality matters more than presence.
What strong async collaboration looks like in practice and how leaders evaluate reliability remotely.
Getting hired remotely and building digital trust
Why CVs alone rarely open doors in remote hiring.
How hiring decisions are shaped before the interview even happens.
How to build familiarity, credibility, and evidence of competence through your digital presence.
How to signal that you are clear, reliable, and easy to work with across distance.
The session introduces a simple framework for understanding how trust is formed in remote work and hiring, helping you see yourself through the eyes of remote teams and decision-makers.
