🔥 We are the (R)emotes #20

Welcome to (R) emote brief your monthly dose of insights, tools and stories from the heart of your (R)emote community 💌

We're back after summer break, and what a comeback! Between forest fires in Portugal and fresh ambitions for our community, this #20 edition marks a turning point. We unveiled our 10 new creators for season 25/26, celebrated our wins (50k+ views on our Miroverse templates!), and most importantly, we're tackling THE question that matters: how do you transform working groups into real teams?

Because being remote isn't just about working in parallel from your living room. It's about creating something together, despite the distance. This edition explores that often blurry line between collaboration and simple professional coexistence.

📌 HEADLINES PREVIEW

• Daria Rudnik explains why most teams are just illusions

• Behind the scenes of our creators ceremony: 10 new talents, 6 continents, 1 mission

Most leaders think they're running teams. What they're actually managing are groups of talented individuals working in parallel—and the difference is costing them everything.

Daria Rudnik knows this reality intimately. As a Team Architect and Strategic Clarity coach with over 15 years of international executive experience, she's seen companies across six continents make the same costly mistake: confusing proximity with collaboration, meetings with teamwork.

Her frameworks were tested during financial crises, wars, and the COVID-19 pandemic in both fast-growing startups and Fortune 500 companies.

Based in Tel Aviv, Daria brings a unique perspective shaped by resilience and adaptability. Her journey from Deloitte consultant to Chief People Officer for tech and telecom companies taught her that traditional management approaches crumble under remote complexity. That's why she developed the C.L.I.C.K. framework—a systematic approach to building teams that actually function as units, not just collections of individuals.

🔥 "From Chaos to Click: How to Build a Self-Sufficient, High-Performing Team in 60 Minutes"

🗓 Thursday, September 28th
🕒 01:00 PM – 02:00 PM CET

This isn't your typical team-building session filled with trust falls and personality tests. Daria's interactive workshop tackles the fundamental challenge every remote leader faces: how do you create genuine collaboration when your team is scattered across time zones? Her approach combines organizational psychology with practical frameworks that work in real-world distributed environments. Whether you're managing a startup team of five or leading a department of fifty, this session provides concrete tools to assess your current team dynamics and implement changes that stick. Perfect for leaders who are tired of being the bottleneck in every decision and ready to build teams that can operate independently without losing alignment.

Four key takeaways from Daria's session:

• Spot the illusion: Learn to distinguish between real teams and reporting line groups

• Master the C.L.I.C.K. framework: Transform any group into a self-sufficient powerhouse

• Communication matrix: Restructure team communication for clarity and autonomy

• Leadership evolution: Stop firefighting, start leading strategically

Last month, we gathered virtually to unveil something special: 10 new creators joining our community for the upcoming season. But this wasn't your typical announcement webinar—it was a celebration of what happens when remote professionals stop working in isolation and start building together.

The numbers tell one story: 47 webinars delivered last season, 15+ countries covered, recognition as one of the top three hosts for most-attended community events on Miro. But the real story emerged in the creator profiles—each one representing a different path to remote mastery, from Tel Aviv to Minneapolis, from behavioral science to AI strategy.

What struck us most was the diversity of challenges these creators are tackling. Daria building self-sufficient teams while navigating bomb shelters. Eduardo helping AWS customers cut through AI hype after accidentally racking up a $4000 Miro bill. Matt Wallaert applying behavioral science to product design with his signature cowboy boots and wild gestures.

These aren't just template makers—they're remote work pioneers solving real problems for distributed teams. The ceremony reminded us that behind every great remote collaboration tool is someone who figured out how to make distance irrelevant.
