The Quiet Power of Professionalism in Remote Work

The Quiet Power of Professionalism in Remote Work Written by Tonua Norice · October 2025 In a world of endless virtual meetings, emojis, and Slack threads, “professionalism” can feel like a word from another era. But in remote spaces, it’s actually what sets the leaders apart from the noise. Professionalism isn’t about suits or scripts — it’s about presence. It’s how you show up when no one’s watching but everyone’s depending on you. 1️⃣ Professionalism Is Energy, Not Etiquette Working remotely blurs lines. Your living room becomes a conference room. The commute disappears — so does the separation. That’s why professionalism starts with energy. It’s in the tone of your emails, the way you follow through, and how you hold space in virtual rooms.

  Manifesting Your Field of Dreams If We Believe, People Will Come — A Reflection on James Earl Jones and the Power of Presence Written by Tonua Norice · October 2025 The world mourns the loss of James Earl Jones , a true legend of stage and screen who passed away at the age of 93. Above this reflection sits a short video that revisits one of his most uplifting moments in film — the “People will come” monologue from Field of Dreams . Today, we honor not only his artistry but also the timeless wisdom carried in those words. 1️⃣ Belief as a Creative Force James Earl Jones’s character, Terence Mann, reminded us that belief is both memory and imagination — a bridge between what was and what can be. His words, “People will come,” weren’t just about baseball; they were about faith in the unseen, about trusting that the goodness we remember can return if we dare to believe again. In my professional world, that same energy fuels creative work...

Your Virtual Assistant: The Secret Weapon Behind Seamless Media Projects Written by Tonua Norice Welcome, media moguls, filmmakers, and all-around creative geniuses. Today we’re diving into something that can change the pace, quality, and calm of your next production — not a new drone or edit suite, but a Virtual Assistant (VA) tailored for media. In the caffeine-fueled, deadline-tight world of production, the right VA isn’t “nice to have.” It’s your edge . 1️⃣ Why a VA Is the Unsung Hero of Media Projects Picture this: in pre-production you’re juggling schedules, contracts, call sheets , vendors — and somehow still trying to be the creative brain. By post, you’re buried in edits, feedback loops, and files that go missing at the exact wrong moment. Cue your media-savvy VA. I come in with checklists, timelines, and calm presence — handling the moving parts so you can direct, produce, and pitch at your highest level. The outcome? Clean communication, fewer surp...
