Ted Audio Collective Are you one of those folks who's been working remotely

during the pandemic? You missed the camaraderie and chatter of the office, but you're also dreading

that announcement that will come any day now about returning to the office. So many of us have

gotten used to the freedom of managing our own schedules, taking breaks when we want to without

senior leadership breathing down our necks, but we might be going back to business as usual.

I'm Madu back in Ola. This is Ted Business. Our speaker today is leadership expert Debbie Loveich.

She's a managing director and senior partner at BCG and she's on a mission to make sure we don't

go back to the old days. You know the long commutes, the nine to until, and mandates, lots of

mandates from up above. But what does it mean to approach work differently in this pivotal moment

of change? Debbie will share with us after a quick break.

Support for this podcast comes from BCG. What you're about to hear is a work of imagination,

but not fantasy. So starts every episode of BCG's new podcast Climate Vision 2050,

which pulls us into a future where we've radically reduced carbon emissions and saved ourselves

from climate catastrophe. From the future of travel to food and fashion, what might life be like

in a world that has actually managed to address climate change? Listen to BCG's Climate Vision 2050

wherever you get your podcasts. A net zero world is within reach.

Hey, it's Adam Grant. The new season of my Ted Podcast's Work Life is out now.

The past few years have been full of changes to how we work. There's so much more we can

rethink about our jobs. Join me as I dive into the science of making work not suck.

This season we'll explore how to fix your meetings, bust bureaucracy, and make the most out of

your breaks and vacations. Listen to Work Life with Adam Grant wherever you listen to podcasts.

When I moved from New York to Boston in 1989, I completely lost my sense of direction.
