Topic: Unlock the Potential of Your (Online) Meetings
Speaker: Paul Tevis
Technology is enabling more and more work to be done by distributed teams. Unlocking the potential of these teams means using that technol-ogy effectively. Teams need to make effective use of their time together in meetings, and this is no small task. Even skilled facilitators can strug-gle to make online meetings as engaging and productive as in-person ones.
If you are:
-
A leader who convenes online meetings,
-
A facilitator who support groups in online meetings, or
-
A meeting attendee frustrated with online meetings,
then this workshop can help you make your meetings better.
This interactive session is not a webinar, and it’s more than a class. It uses the Zoom video-conferencing platform to create an interactive online meeting space. You will identify the differences between what you want your online meetings to be like and how they have actually been. Together with the other participants, you will explore obstacles and ad-vantages of meeting online. Along the way you will experience seven tools for helping groups work together online. You will leave with a plan for applying what you have learned to make your online meetings more effective.
