The ways we work have fundamentally changed. People no longer seek just work-life balance. They want the power to choose when, where and how they work. They want the freedom to create their own schedules, to do work they find meaningful, and to be in a space that suits their unique needs. Gone are the days of a one-size-fits-all nine to five. In All the Ways You Work<\/a>, WeWork members share how they\u2019re reimagining their professional lives and thriving in this new world of work.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the entire city of Lima shut down back in March, Valeria Calder\u00f3n thought she would go home to her mum\u2019s house in the Northern Peruvian beach town of Trujillo for about two weeks and wait for concerns about COVID-19 to fade away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know how that went.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks turned into a month, and then into two months. At first Calder\u00f3n, a digital planner for media advertising agency Carat, felt like she was on a working holiday. It was even fun for a while. She\u2019d wake up at her mum\u2019s house in the morning, pull out her computer and start working from her bed. The highlight was a view of the surfers down on Huanchaco beach. Soon, she found working from bed was one of those things that sounded incredibly decadent in theory, like an unlimited supply of chocolate, but in reality disappoints after you\u2019ve had too much of it. Calder\u00f3n lost her concentration. She missed her life and her old office at the WeWork back in Lima<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n
