Being Human While Working From Home

After a slight delay in getting situated on Zoom, the Female Quotient's virtual Equality Lounge guest speaker, Erica Keswin, apologized saying, "Greetings from a small town in Connecticut, where we barely have Wi-Fi." At that point, a boy was heard ("Mom!"), as he bolted across the screen in the background. Keswin, who was finally in place to speak on her book's advice, Bring Your Human to Work, epitomized her topic in that moment — another in the series of moments we are all getting used to during these days of social distancing. Not flustered, she continued on, sharing her "three Ps" for managing new ways to lead, work, and find balance from home. The young man, her son Daniel, stayed at her side, employed as her page-turning assistant.
