But when you work remotely, you can step away from the traditional meeting room or huddle pod – and make your own rules. Here are some ways to keep business moving while you’re on the move.
Walking meeting
Yes, literally, keep business moving. Walking meetings have so many benefits when you’re out of town. You get to explore your surroundings and see some of the sights you might miss cooped up in a meeting room. You also keep on top of your daily step target, boost your energy, and scientists reckon a good walk-and-talk powers up divergent thinking and creativity – perfect for brainstorming.
Tip: Map your walk to last the duration of your meeting. In 30 minutes, most people can walk about 2km (a little over a mile).
Local museums
For that special touch when you’re hosting clients and you’re away from your office, book a business space at an iconic local attraction or museum. It says, ‘I want to understand and appreciate you and your city’; it says, ‘I’m happy to do something a bit different to impress you.’ It’ll help you amplify the moment and live spectacular – even at work.
Most museums and attractions have conference, seminar, and meeting spaces well kitted out with presentation tech, business support, and good catering. What’s not to love?!
Tip: Do you want to go for the big show-off museum or find somewhere quirky that makes your clients look at their city from a different perspective? Pick somewhere they might have never been before.
