Virtual meetings don't have to be boring snoozefests where one person talks and everyone else listens (ie zones out and checks their email).

With the disruption and uncertainty caused by COVID-19 rapidly impacting the way we work, now's the time to learn a more effective way of connecting with dispersed teams and leading virtual meetings.

• How can you create a fun, collaborative, and engaging meeting or event, in an online environment?
• How can you make sure that when you ask a question of your audience, you get vibrant responses (rather than crickets)?
• How can you draw out the diverse, and even quiet voices in the (virtual) room, and ensure you as facilitator don't dominate the meeting?

Join us for this dynamic, 90-minute session - delivered virtually via Zoom video conferencing - where you'll learn:

• the steps you can take before a virtual meeting even begins to help set it up for success
• the secret to taking the pressure off you as the facilitator and engaging your audience in a way that both supports their growth and produces great results (hint: we'll be tapping into the power of Liberating Structures)
• tips for understanding and meeting the psychological needs of your virtual team during these increasingly complex and uncertain times.

Do I need to have my video on?
