Many of us were floundering in March 2019 when we had to work from home. COVID was raging outside our door - we had to stay in to work unless we were classified as an essential worker. Clare Price wrote and uploaded a free e-book on her website called Making Remote Work that layed out tips, tools, advice, and a plan on how to make remote work. It was and is one of the best books available! And it was just in time!

Meet Clare Price, the President, and CEO of Octain Growth Systems, a digital transformation strategist, digital marketing executive, and author. Octain is a global strategic planning consultancy that works with entrepreneurs and executives to close the gap between planning and doing so that revenue and profitability goals are achieved.

An opera singer turned keynote speaker, entrepreneur, best-selling author, and world-renowned expert on public speaking and presentation skills, she is helping others find their voice.
