Having led and participated in numerous high-performing virtual teams dating before COVID-19, Penelope is well acquainted with the power and productivity that can arise from strong interpersonal bonds built within such teams. However, as the business world begins to emerge from the most challenging periods of the pandemic, the strength of the virtual team is frequently called into question. Some believe that the team building and camaraderie of in-person teams cannot be replicated. Penelope challenges this notion through insights based on long-term, real-world experience - from the valued connections she has built with colleagues solely within the virtual realm to comparison with various professional experiences in the in-office environment. It becomes apparent that a binary view of virtual vs. in-person settings limits the potential of human interaction. How we partner is continuously evolving, and Penelope's examination of differing perspectives on work forums provides an avenue to advancing recognition of the value of the virtual environment.
