Make the Most Out of Your Remote Meetings

Leading Effective Virtual Meetings

Our Leading Effective Virtual Meetings virtual workshops provide professionals with the skills needed for today’s remote work environment.

Leaders and managers often find themselves involved in meetings full of tangents and disagreements that derail productivity. When those meetings take place virtually – by videoconference or by telephone – the ability to maintain focus, engagement, and cohesion among participants is challenged even more.

Our Leading Effective Virtual Meetings workshop is the solution.

In this virtual session, your participants learn skills for keeping folks engaged, reconciling divergent ideas and opinions among attendees, and helping ensuring the time spent together is productive. They also consider the benefits and challenges associated with the latest technological platforms, as well as the advantages that video and telephone each offer.

Participants engage in a variety of fun, yet practical exercises and case-studies, including role-play simulations that capture the challenges they face in their professional roles.

Like all of our virtual workshops, your Leading Effective Virtual Meetings workshop will be customized to meet the specific challenges faced by your organization and your staff. Our virtual workshops are hands-on and combine theory with practice, using a mixture of lecture and exercises to drive the learning.
