With the increasing availability of vaccines, I think we're all starting to see a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe, it will soon be possible to once again connect with people in person. Hopefully, that will mean a return to more social happy hours with colleagues. But after working virtually for all this time, we'll likely end up with a hybrid model. Because I've been networking my way across Zoom for the past year, I'm definitely hearing positive feedback on the convenience of a networking one-to-one meeting over video. Honestly, when I think about how I used to drive 45 minutes to share an in-person coffee, getting stuck in traffic on the way there and back, there were days when it took an entire morning to have a single networking meeting. Now I can either have six meetings in that time, over video, if I'm really ambitious — or one meeting and still get some work done.
