Lisette Sutherland is a public speaker, workshop leader, author, entrepreneur, and remote-working champion. She is the director of Collaboration Superpowers, a company that helps people work together from anywhere through online and in-person workshops.
Lisette has given presentations at a wide range of events, from conferences and Meetups all over the world to a TEDx talk on the theme Unbox the Future in Kaunas, Lithuania.

Lisette is a remote-working German-born American living in the Netherlands who is totally jazzed by the fact that it’s possible to work from anywhere. In fact, it’s not just possible; it’s completely, productively workable—if you do it right.
Her book, Work Together Anywhere: A Handbook on Working Remotely — Successfully — for Individuals, Teams, and Managers, offers the first complete guide to the best systems and practices for remote workers, managers, and teams of any size.
