Even as teams go remote, client meetings go virtual, and [events remain in flux](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/blog/the-best-times-to-send-client-gifts-by-client-type), one thing is certain: we need to keep connecting.  To that end, here are 7 ideas and resources to do just that: **Connect.** **![social distancing corona virus loop and tie](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2-7.jpg?width=2000&name=2-7.jpg)** It sounds simple, but in a time period where everyone is sending out their Corona Virus update, an email where you are checking in goes a long way.  No asks, no pitches, no requests. With people at their computers more, email can be a moment of positive connectivity.    ![work from home social distancing corona virus loop and tie](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/3-2.jpg?width=2000&name=3-2.jpg) If your team has never been remote but now has to be, set up a meeting to talk through remote working and how it will work. Everyone wants clarity, especially in uncertain times, and the more clarity you can provide upfront the better. Here’s a great article from Coach Leah Bonnvissuto on [How to Lead a Team that is Suddenly WFH.](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-communicate-well-when-working-from-home-leah-bonvissuto)   [![connections email](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/connections%20email.png?width=710&name=connections%20email.png)](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-communicate-well-when-working-from-home-leah-bonvissuto) Remember when silent discos happened and no one really believed in them until they did? This is that time for virtual meal meet-ups. Eat a meal together while video-conferencing, or have a happy hour in this way. Want to make it even better? Send the person you’re talking to a  gift that arrives before your meeting. [Loop & Tie](https://www.loopandtie.com/) is a perfect solution allowing your guests to choose whatever they want or need most!   ![canceled events social distancing corona virus loop and tie](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/5-3.jpg?width=2000&name=5-3.jpg) It does not seem like the time to celebrate or throw a party, and it may not be. But communities thrive on the chance to do something light-hearted even in the face of uncertainty. Watch a movie while everyone is on [Zoom](https://zoom.us/). Live tweet the binge-watching of a TV show with your chosen community. Find a moment to do something that is collectively loved and share it.    ![virtual meditation social distancing corona virus loop and tie](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/6-3.jpg?width=2000&name=6-3.jpg) Join a virtual group meditation or workout group. Use this time to engage in group activities such as work out classes, meditation practices, and more through the comfort of your screens. Here’s [a meditation and grounding opportunity lead by Zen Meditation teacher Deborah Eden Tull happen on Tuesdays & Thursdays at 12:00 pm EST. ](http://bit.ly/WFHgrounding)   ![social distancing corona virus loop and tie quarantine](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/7-1.jpg?width=2000&name=7-1.jpg) New information about this [global pandemic](https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/03/11/814474930/coronavirus-covid-19-is-now-officially-a-pandemic-who-says) is coming minute by minute and can begin to feel like an overload. Encourage the importance of being available to each other by sending texts, Slack messages, WhatsApp - taking a more personal approach to each form of communication can help. This also means being able to step back if you need to.    ![social distancing corona virus loop and tie be nice](https://marketing.loopandtie.com/hs-fs/hubfs/8-1.jpg?width=2000&name=8-1.jpg) Smile at someone. Send a gift. Send a meal. Write a letter. Take the time to connect in a way that feels personal. Know a colleague or team member that may live by themselves, are new parents, or just feel that they could use help? Set up a [Meal Train](https://www.mealtrain.com).   Whichever route you choose, [the Loop & Tie team is available to connect](https://www.loopandtie.com/marketing/demo/new). Even if you just want to send an email to share the latest update on COVID-19.
