The workshop:
Learn how to stop the interruptions, silence steamrollers and encourage everyone to have a voice. The 'Meeting Host' is responsible for using people’s time with purpose. Anyone can follow a checklist of how to run a “good” meeting. Still, it takes practice to create intentional moments of connection, turn time into momentum, and not leave people feeling like whatever you’ve done could have been an email. This session discusses how people can leverage their time towards outcomes, and make sure it’s being used in ways that move us all forward.
Watch this workshop to learn how to:
Foster trust and collaboration among remote team members.
Discover how to get buy-in from stakeholders, even when you can't meet them in person.
Explore new ways to ensure continuity and productivity, even remotely
