Daphnée is a Distributed Workplace Consultant and host of the Remote First Podcast, who is on a mission to help executives, people ops, and team leaders drive company-wide shifts toward remote-first ways of working.

In more than 10 years of working with fully distributed companies, she has a long history of playing key roles in establishing scalable workflows for growth, facilitating business decisions remotely, and building internal products dedicated to supporting remote-first teams.

For an exciting conversation about how we can most effectively support our teams in their return to the office, in a hybrid-way; improving employee wellbeing through flexibility, empowerment, and trust; asynchronous and transparent communication; and how we can coach and educate our teams to be better facilitators, please join me in welcoming to the show, our guest, Daphnée Laforest.
