We followed up with @AliceKatze to continue the conversation and pick her brain on regenerative work, creativity, serendipity, and community programs. Here’s what we heard.

To learn more about creativity and wellbeing in the future of workplaces
, we talked with @AliceKatze,
a consultant and thought leader who investigates the blurry lines between life, work, and our humanity through #outofofficenetwork.
Here are some of our favorite quotes… 🧵
Alice Katter retweeted
I’m no economist, but my current understanding is the layoffs we’re seeing in tech right now aren’t the “end” but a market correction.
There’s no better time to shake things up and/or reevaluate your relationship with work and what you want out of life. It’s going to be ok.
A more creative way of living will allow us to make more diverse experiences, which is what makes us learn & grow.
Rather than learning by climbing up the corporate ladder, we learn my working with different people, living in new environments and having more space to explore.
Wrote about living a more creative life 🌴🎨
- Stepping away from a butts-in-seats mentality
- the beauty of diversification by working/living from anywhere
- how workations allow us to reimagine how we want to live
- learnings from 6 months workation

We plan to re-allocate resources towards our employee experience, hiring, and the growth of our business, as well as evolve our in-person gatherings, as we design the future of remote work at @Yelp together with our employees.

Collaborating with talented designers brings me so much joy. Found Moriz’s work in a coffee shop in Oaxaca, while working/living from MEX for 2 months, and now co-created a small series, celebrating rest, exploration & play for Out of Office 🐛 instagram.com/tv/Cc3EV3wjfrY…

I enjoy any nugget of positive suggestion in these wild times and Alice has a lot of really good ones, especially for remote teams!
I LOVE this!
Financial constraints and insecurity infused by our capitalistic system are what hold so many talented creators back from doing what they love, or building a career that's off the traditional path. So we need more of this 👏
We're very excited to announce the launch of a brand new thing from SuperHi called SuperHi Basic Income – an experiment to see if giving multiple people $1,000 a month will help accelerate their creative careers

We stick to small talk to avoid awkwardness, but deep talk is surprisingly enjoyable.
7 experiments: in deep conversations, we feel happier, more connected, and less uncomfortable than expected.
A place to start: instead of asking people what they do, ask what they love to do.
Why working less is the future of work 👩🎨

🌱Sustainability: Apart from the energy and emission spent by commuting, giving people back time means we have more time to make choices and build healthy habits, such as cooking for ourselves, which reduces emission.
