Wild Geese

“Was it for this the Wild Geese spread the grey wing on every tide?”

Welcome to the Grow Remote and the Wild Geese chapter! This group was set up on November 4, 2018 and is run by volunteers and mystic gladiators . We are keen to build a thriving community of remote workers in and around Lough Derg. Our HQ is based in Portumna, Co. Galway. However, our community has no boundaries, borders or frontiers.

Not everyone leaves or should feel the need to leave their home to find an opportunity to work. Lough Derg and environs is a treasure chest of highly skilled and educated people working or not working. The aim of this group is not only to raise awareness of the opportunities of working remotely but to build a community where you can work remotely together and look for support on your journey.

According to this Remote How Survey, 62% of people don’t work remotely because they don’t know where to start. We want to change that for our 200,000+ remote workers and those who would like to convert to remote working.

Who is the Wild Geese for?

Regardless of your industry, background or whether you're working remotely full time, we are keen to have you on board. This is an opportunity for:

Remote Workers
Traditional Workers who would like to try out Remote Work
Our Diaspora - who are looking for an opportunity to return home
Parents of our Diaspora who would like to learn more!
The Curious - those of you who have not heard about remote work
The Homemakers - those of you who paused your working life to nurture our young geese

Become one of Wild Geese first members and be the first to share in its vision, and support the work of its volunteers.

Grow Remote hope to reinvent how people work, share knowledge, tell stories, and inspire more people to experience this way of life.

A note from the founder of Grow Remote

Welcome to Grow Remote on ChangeX! We're building a national movement to connect remote workers in Ireland. We believe we’re in the middle of a seismic change in ways of working that opens up a whole new opportunity for a better quality of life, for remote workers and for rural Ireland. We'll help you do this in your local community by starting a Grow Remote Chapter.

Running a remote business takes drive, determination, and grit in ordinary times – and even more so in these turbulent times. Things may feel particularly challenging right now. I truly believe in the power of small businesses to make a positive change in the world and in people's lives.

I wanted to refresh you on some Grow Remote Resources:
