If you are working from home or managing people working remotely, you may be frustrated or overwhelmed coping with new technology and an unprecedented situation. Even if you have worked this way in the past, the added pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic add to distraction, stress, burnout, and lack of engagement among team members. Communication, collaboration, and team cohesion are more important than ever. Enhance the skills you need to thrive in this environment and be ready to take the lessons learned and improved approaches with you when you return to your usual workspace.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Today, like millions around the planet, you are using platforms designed to maximize group interaction and participation. If you've used such platforms before, you may be ahead of the curve. If you are not familiar with them, you may be on a steep learning curve. Either way, now is a chance to maximize the efficiency of your online meetings and develop practices you can use when things return to the "new normal." Bad meeting habits developed over years of attending poorly run live or virtual meetings can be a disaster during the disruptions caused by COVID-19. Learn the best practices to conduct the meetings efficiently and effectively, accomplish your goals, and get results. In this time of crisis, you cannot afford to operate at anything less than optimal facilitation and participation skills. At the same time, you must be ready for the inevitable technical glitches and be ready to be flexible and calm.
