In this online interactive workshop, you will learn tools and best practices to facilitate successful collaborative work at a distance. Your teams and workgroups are now being asked to work virtually, many for the first time. As a facilitator or HR partner, you may be struggling to support creative and collaborative remote work, while orienting team members to new technology that can often be overwhelming. Smooth and effective virtual facilitation requires an understanding of the unique challenges the online environment poses for group work, along with a toolbox of approaches that really work. This workshop provides you with what you need to transfer your face-to-face facilitation skills to remote settings.
We will explore why collaborative work that is not co-located is so challenging, and how you can tackle the unique problems that come with virtual facilitation. We will teach you how to use Slack, a team collaboration app, to get the most out of group communication. We will show you how to leverage Zoom’s latest features, and how to experience the power of visual templates using whiteboarding apps, All of this you will experience while engaging in small- and large-group discussions, hands-on learning, and individual practice, with practical take-aways that you can put to use immediately.
This training is limited to 20 participants.
This workshop is for you if:
• You run virtual meetings and are looking for visual methods to make them more engaging and effective.
• You are a facilitator who wants to add virtual collaboration tools to your repertoire.
• You are a trainer who runs online classes and you’d like to expand beyond slide shows.
