In this brief micro‑learning video, Laura Goodrich proposes that remote teams begin meetings with a short personal check‑in to recreate the informal connection of an office lunchroom. She opens with an invitation for participants to share how they’re feeling, then illustrates the approach with a light anecdote about her teenage daughter considering a tattoo. Goodrich explains that asking a simple, non‑work‑related question before diving into agenda items can loosen up teams that are not naturally expressive. She positions this practice within a broader “Remote Leadership” framework that uses virtual coaching and short video modules to restore the sense of camaraderie that is often missing in fully remote environments.
