Virtual work isn't the model of the future-it's here now. But many companies struggle with setting their employees free from the office without sacrificing culture. Centric Consulting CEO and cofounder Larry English is here to guide the way.

Twenty years ago, Larry and his friends weren't happy in their consulting jobs. The long hours took a serious toll on their personal lives. So they built their own company where employees could work virtually and the culture would contribute to both the business's success and employee happiness.

Since then, Centric Consulting has expanded to over 1,400 team members with operations in 13 US cities and India-and everyone works remotely some or most of the time. As Larry unpacks everything he's discovered about creating and sustaining a culture of collaborative teams, you'll learn:

• How and why you need to cultivate an atmosphere of trust in a virtual environment
• How to recruit and hire team members for remote work
• How to build strong relationships with people you don't see every day
• How to scale your virtual company without sacrificing culture
• How the right software tools can help build culture
• How to be a great virtual team member

Sprinkled with funny, insightful stories from Larry and other Centric employees, Office Optional: How to Build a Connected Culture with Virtual Teams is the ultimate guidebook to remote work and a successful virtual culture.

Larry English is the CEO and cofounder of Centric Consulting, a management consulting firm that guides you in the search for answers to complex digital, business, and technology problems. Before Centric Consulting, Larry worked for a large international consulting firm out of college until he got burned out at 25. He and his newlywed wife backpacked around the world as he tried to find his path in life-and he did. Shortly after returning home, he and his like-minded pals founded Centric with a focus on changing how consulting was done by building a remote company with a mission to create a culture of employee and client happiness. Today, Centric is a 1,400-plus person company with offices in 13 US cities and India. Larry is father to four boys and husband to an adventurous wife. They reside in Columbus, Ohio.
