This week we were able to speak with Tammy Bjelland, the founder and CEO of Workplaceless – an elearning company that provides training to remote professionals and teams. Tammy began working remotely in Edtech in 2011, and has been helping people learn and grow in distributed environments ever since.
Starting in academia, Tammy shifted to Ed tech and began her own business consulting. She then saw the gap in education and training related to remote work, and she has been building Workplaceless to fill that gap.
Tammy is a true pro, and had some quality insights about remote work culture, communication and major pain points related to managing and building remote teams. What I really enjoyed about our conversation, however, was how genuine Tammy is. Her best advice: “Not taking yourself too seriously” is one of my favorites, and I think isn’t heeded as much in business and entrepreneurship.
