teams 365 #3374: Friday Flashback: 6 Layers of Connection

3/31/2023

With our theme this week about fostering connection for teams in the hybrid space, I thought it would be valuable to go back to a blog post from 2021 where I introduced the Six Layers of Connection, which I expand upon in Reconnecting Workspaces.

Here’s what I wrote in Teams365 #2584 - TEAMS365 #2584 – 6 LAYERS OF CONNECTION IN ANY VIRTUAL CONVERSATION #letstalkvirtual #standoutvirtually - POTENTIALS REALIZED

​The virtual and remote work and business world appears flat but has multiple layers. It’s in these layers that we get to see the nuance and significance.


This past year as I’ve brought the Stand Out Virtually brand and programming out into the world, many I’ve spoken with have been intrigued by the notion of the Six Layers of Connection. Consider your most recent conversations and what helped you create connection. Likely it included connection to these five layers.

These of course, are beyond the first and most important layer, connection to themselves. Helping people connect the focus of the call with their WIIFM, or what’s in it for me is paramount for a great virtual experience. What are the elements which are important for you?

Connection to the Topic – First, what’s the connection with the topic. Why is it important to them? How does the topic have relevance in their life?

Connection to You – What is the connection with you the Leader or Facilitator of the Call.

Connection to Others on the call – Without a connection to others on the call the learning process may not go as deep as it could.

Connection to the Content – What is the connection to the content you are engaging in? What are those elements which are important to you?

Connection to the Platform  - What is the elements of the platform (Zoom, Teams or other) which will help you in moving the call forward?

Connection to your Context – What are you doing to connect what you are leaning and talking about to the wider context? It’s key that we spend time focusing on the wider context, and not leave learning on the screen.

What is important for you to put a focus around, especially in the hybrid space where things get magnified?

​Enjoy your conversations, 
Jennifer

Building and maintaining connections in a hybrid team is crucial for success. In part one, we discussed ten strategies to boost team connections in the hybrid workspace. Here are ten more ways to strengthen connections within your team:
​
  1. Create a buddy system: Pair up remote and in-person employees to encourage communication and collaboration. This can help build relationships and foster a sense of shared responsibility.
  2. Rotate office days: If possible, rotate in-person days for remote employees to allow them to interact with their colleagues face-to-face. This can help break down communication barriers and build stronger relationships.
  3. Implement team-building exercises: Regular team-building exercises can help foster collaboration and improve communication. This can be done virtually or in-person.
  4. Establish clear communication channels: Ensure everyone knows which communication channels to use for which purpose. This can help avoid miscommunication and confusion.
  5. Use icebreakers: At the start of meetings, use icebreakers to help remote and in-person team members get to know each other better. This can help break down communication barriers and build stronger relationships.
  6. Share personal stories: Encourage team members to share personal stories or interests to help build stronger connections. This can be done during team-building exercises or during virtual coffee breaks.
  7. Offer remote employees in-person training: Offer remote employees the opportunity to attend in-person training sessions or conferences. This can help them build stronger relationships with their colleagues and improve their skills.
  8. Create a virtual watercooler: Create a virtual space where employees can chat and share information about their lives outside of work. This can help build stronger connections and foster a sense of community.
  9. Encourage cross-department collaboration: Encourage team members from different departments to collaborate on projects. This can help break down communication barriers and build stronger relationships across the organization.
  10. Celebrate milestones: Celebrate team members’ milestones, such as birthdays, work anniversaries, or personal achievements. This can help build stronger relationships and foster a sense of community within the team.

In conclusion, building and maintaining connections in a hybrid team is crucial for success. By implementing these strategies, you can help break down communication barriers, foster collaboration, and build stronger relationships within your team.

In our previous blog post, we discussed ten ways to boost connections in a hybrid team. In this post, we will be sharing ten more ways to help your team build stronger connections and improve collaboration in a hybrid workspace.
  1. Use icebreakers: Start meetings with icebreakers to help team members feel more comfortable and get to know each other better. This can be as simple as asking everyone to share their weekend plans or favorite hobby.
  2. Encourage virtual mentoring: Pair up team members for virtual mentoring to help build relationships and provide professional development opportunities.
  3. Create a virtual water cooler: Set up a virtual chat room or group where team members can chat informally about non-work-related topics.
  4. Rotate meeting times: Consider rotating meeting times to accommodate team members in different time zones and schedules.
  5. Share personal stories: Encourage team members to share personal stories during meetings or team-building activities. This can help build empathy and understanding among team members.
  6. Plan in-person events: If possible, plan in-person events for team members to meet and bond. This can be a team retreat or a casual gathering outside of work hours.
  7. Acknowledge cultural differences: Be mindful of cultural differences among team members and encourage a culture of respect and understanding.
  8. Provide opportunities for remote team members to visit the office: If it is safe and feasible, offer remote team members the opportunity to visit the office and meet their in-person colleagues.
  9. Recognize individual achievements: Recognize individual achievements and provide opportunities for team members to celebrate each other's successes.
  10. Conduct team-building exercises: Plan team-building exercises that promote collaboration and problem-solving. This can include virtual escape rooms, scavenger hunts, or brainstorming sessions.

​In conclusion, building connections and improving collaboration in a hybrid team requires intentional effort and creativity. By using icebreakers, encouraging virtual mentoring, creating a virtual water cooler, rotating meeting times, sharing personal stories, planning in-person events, acknowledging cultural differences, providing opportunities for remote team members to visit the office, recognizing individual achievements, and conducting team-building exercises, you can boost more connection in your team.

The hybrid workspace, which blends remote and in-person work, has become increasingly popular over the last couple of years. While it offers flexibility and work-life balance, it also presents unique challenges when it comes to building and maintaining connections among colleagues. Here are a few tips for boosting connections in the hybrid workspace:
  1. Use technology to your advantage: With the help of video conferencing tools and other communication platforms, it is now easier than ever to stay connected with remote colleagues. Make use of these technologies to schedule virtual meetings, chat with colleagues, and collaborate on projects.
  2. Create opportunities for socializing: In-person socializing is not always possible in a hybrid workspace, but you can still create opportunities for socializing virtually. Consider hosting virtual coffee breaks, happy hours, or team-building activities to help build connections among colleagues.
  3. Foster an inclusive culture: It’s important to create a culture of inclusivity and make everyone feel valued and heard. Encourage open communication, respect each other’s opinions and ideas, and celebrate diversity.
  4. Emphasize collaboration: Collaboration is key to building connections in a hybrid workspace. Encourage teamwork, share responsibilities, and provide opportunities for colleagues to work together.
  5. Invest in training and development: Training and development programs can help employees build new skills, stay motivated, and feel valued. Offer training and development opportunities to both remote and in-person colleagues to help them grow professionally.
In conclusion, the hybrid workspace can be a challenging environment for building connections, but it’s not impossible. By using technology, creating opportunities for socializing, fostering an inclusive culture, emphasizing collaboration, and investing in training and development, you can help your team thrive in a hybrid workspace.

The hybrid workspace is becoming more popular as companies embrace the flexibility it offers. But with remote and in-person employees working together, maintaining team connections can be challenging. Here are ten ways to boost your team connections in the hybrid workspace:
  1. Set clear expectations: Establish guidelines for communication, availability, and deadlines to ensure everyone is on the same page. This includes establishing office hours and response times.
  2. Use technology: Technology can facilitate communication and collaboration. Invest in video conferencing software and project management tools to keep everyone connected.
  3. Schedule regular meetings: Schedule regular meetings for the entire team, and for smaller groups working on specific projects. This will help keep everyone on track and up-to-date.
  4. Encourage social interaction: Socializing helps build strong relationships among team members. Encourage virtual coffee breaks, happy hours, and team-building activities.
  5. Celebrate successes: Celebrate team successes, big or small. This can be as simple as sending an email congratulating the team on a job well done.
  6. Foster a sense of community: Encourage teamwork and collaboration, and create opportunities for team members to work together. This will help foster a sense of community among team members.
  7. Provide opportunities for feedback: Feedback is important for growth and development. Encourage team members to provide feedback on projects and processes, and act on their suggestions.
  8. Promote diversity and inclusion: Diversity and inclusion are essential for a thriving team. Create an environment where all team members feel valued and heard.
  9. Emphasize work-life balance: Encourage team members to take breaks and prioritize their mental health. This will lead to happier, healthier, and more productive team members.
  10. Invest in team training: Training and development opportunities can help team members grow professionally, and foster a sense of shared learning and development.
In conclusion, the hybrid workspace can present challenges, but with the right strategies, it’s possible to build strong team connections. Set clear expectations, use technology, schedule regular meetings, encourage social interaction, celebrate successes, foster a sense of community, provide opportunities for feedback, promote diversity and inclusion, emphasize work-life balance, and invest in team training.

teams 365 #3368: Why Journaling Is Important

3/25/2023

For several years now I have included a number of Weekly Journaling Prompts. This week instead I am including a post on Why Journaling Is Important. Take a look at these reasons, according to Chat GPT:
​

Journaling is a powerful tool that can help you gain clarity, improve your mental health, and enhance your personal and professional growth. Here are some reasons why journaling is important:
  1. Self-reflection: Journaling provides a space for you to reflect on your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It helps you process and make sense of your emotions and reactions, leading to greater self-awareness and self-understanding.
  2. Stress management: Writing about your feelings and experiences can be a cathartic experience that helps you manage stress and anxiety. It allows you to release pent-up emotions and gain perspective on challenging situations.
  3. Goal setting: Journaling can help you set and track your goals, whether they are personal or professional. By writing down your goals, you can create a roadmap for achieving them and hold yourself accountable for making progress.
  4. Creativity: Journaling can be a creative outlet that allows you to express yourself freely. It can inspire you to explore new ideas, perspectives, and possibilities.
  5. Memory retention: Writing about your experiences and memories helps you retain them better. Journaling allows you to document important events, people, and moments in your life, creating a tangible record of your personal history.
  6. Healing: Journaling can be a healing practice that helps you process traumatic experiences, grief, and loss. It can provide a safe and supportive outlet for expressing difficult emotions and working through challenging situations.
In summary, journaling is a valuable tool that can help you cultivate greater self-awareness, manage stress, set and achieve goals, boost creativity, retain memories, and promote healing. Whether you are looking to improve your mental health, deepen your personal growth, or enhance your professional development, journaling can be an essential practice for achieving your goals.

teams 365 #3367: Empathetic Listening

Effective communication is a crucial aspect of any successful team. However, communication is not just about speaking but also about empathetic listening. Empathetic listening involves paying attention to the speaker's words, emotions, and body language to understand their perspective fully. It requires creating an open and supportive environment that fosters trust and respect between team members and leaders. Here are some tips to help you foster empathetic listening in your team and with your leaders:
  1. Encourage Active Listening: Encourage your team members to actively listen to one another. Encourage them to listen attentively to the speaker and acknowledge their perspective without judgment.
  2. Show Empathy: Leaders and team members should show empathy towards each other. They should make an effort to understand each other's perspectives and emotions. This can be done by putting themselves in the speaker's shoes and seeing things from their point of view.
  3. Practice Reflective Listening: Reflective listening is a technique that involves paraphrasing and summarizing what the speaker has said to ensure understanding. It demonstrates that you are actively engaged in the conversation and helps clarify any misunderstandings.
  4. Create a Safe Space: Leaders should create a safe and supportive environment that encourages open communication. This can be achieved by establishing ground rules for communication and promoting an open-door policy.
  5. Be Respectful: It is important to show respect to team members and leaders. This means avoiding interrupting or talking over others, using appropriate language, and actively engaging in the conversation.
  6. Provide Feedback: Leaders should provide feedback to team members to show that they have been heard and that their perspective has been taken into consideration. This can help build trust and encourage open communication.

​In conclusion, fostering empathetic listening in teams and with leaders is essential for effective communication. It helps build trust and respect among team members and encourages open communication. By actively listening, showing empathy, creating a safe space, being respectful, practicing reflective listening, and providing feedback, leaders can promote empathetic listening within their teams, creating a positive and productive work environment.

Influence is a powerful tool in any team setting. It involves the ability to persuade and inspire others to take action towards a shared goal or vision. Being an influential team member means that you can effectively communicate your ideas, gain buy-in from others, and work collaboratively to achieve success. Here are some tips on how to develop the skill of influence as a team member:

Build Strong Relationships: Develop strong relationships with your team members, peers, and leaders. Building trust and respect is essential for gaining influence and support.

Communicate Effectively: Communication is key to influencing others. Speak clearly and confidently, listen actively, and tailor your message to your audience.
Understand Your Audience: Understanding your audience's values, goals, and motivations is crucial in influencing them. Consider their perspectives and tailor your message to address their concerns.

Demonstrate Expertise: Demonstrate your expertise in your field and contribute value to the team. This builds credibility and trust among team members.
Be a Team Player: Be willing to collaborate and work towards the team's goals. This demonstrates that you are invested in the team's success and can help build trust and support.

Be Positive and Optimistic: Being positive and optimistic can help inspire and motivate others. Focus on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems.
Be Flexible: Be open to new ideas and willing to adapt. This can help build trust and support among team members, and increase your ability to influence.

In conclusion, being an influential team member is a valuable skill that can contribute to the success of a team. By building strong relationships, communicating effectively, understanding your audience, demonstrating expertise, being a team player, being positive and optimistic, and being flexible, you can become a more effective influencer in your team. By working collaboratively towards shared goals and inspiring others to take action, you can help drive success and achieve greater outcomes as a team.
