An invitation for your remote team

Hello hello,

Am I the only one who feels like this year has run away from us?! Blink and suddenly it’s mid-October. How?!

I was recently speaking with Milly Tamat on the Generalist Podcast, and she asked me how AI is changing facilitation and the way we gather people. It’s a big question, especially in a year like this. I’ve met so many people who’ve been made redundant, my age, for the first or even the second time. All of this against the backdrop of a world aching with uncertainty. There’s AI, yes. But there’s also everything else. The ongoing instability, the relentless churn.

And yet, there’s a deep conviction in me that all this disruption calls for even more intentional gathering. Even more deliberate work to support human connection. Much of my work this year, like with LifeRamp, where I co-facilitate large groups alongside coaches, keeps proving this. These organisations so often tell me they struggle to engage people. Cameras off. Silence. Disconnection. But as soon as you design with intention on topics that matter, with a true invitation to participate… the cameras come on. People want in.

It’s disheartening to see statistics like: only 1 in 4 remote workers feel connected to their company culture (Gallup), and 58% say company-wide meetings feel like nothing more than a broadcast. But honestly? It fuels me. It makes me even more determined to be part of the movement that protects and nurtures human connection.

That’s why, as we reach the end of yet another destabilizing year, I want to help organisations gather their people with intention. To allow a pause. A reset. A moment of being human together.

So, I’m inviting 8 organisations to bring their whole company together (up to 300 people) for a 2.5-hour online gathering before the year is out. Not for strategy. Not for metrics. Not for forced festive fun. But simply, to reconnect.

If this speaks to you, or if you know an organisation that would benefit, you can book a 15-minute call to explore if this would be a good fit.

Let’s end the year connected.

Curiously connecting,

Always,
Perle

P.S. In my chat with Milly, we talked about all things facilitation, gathering humans, and squiggly careers. If those things speak to you, take a listen.
