Talks, Workshops...

I’m Raúl. A remote work believer that enjoys experimenting to build a new and better workplace. I’m passionate, that’s it!

And I’m enthusiastic about chatting, giving talks, leading workshops or animating learning processes. My favorite topics are Remote Leadership, Officeless Organizations, and how to transition to the distributed model, or how to use Horizontality, Openness and Transparency to build remote teams that are both productive and happy. Fancy seing me in action? Most of the lattest examples are remote ¯_(ツ)_/¯… for instance this chat in RePeople conference. Yo can also take a look at this log with some of my most recent talks and workshops or the above posts.
