Teams365 #3004 - The Six Layers of Connection in a Hybrid Work Environment

3/22/2022

Last year when I released my latest body of work, Reconnecting Workspaces: Pathways to Thrive in the Virtual, Remote and Hybrid World, many asked me why I would cover hybrid work arrangements in addition to all remote or virtual.

Today’s workspace has demonstrated to all of us how flexible working arrangements are becoming part of the way people want to work. Whether it’s due to flexibility or for health reasons, supporting members of your team.

Enjoy the conversation,
Jennifer

Teams365 #2797 - Flashback – Six Layers of Connection

8/27/2021

In my recent TEDx Talk, Virtual, Remote and Hybrid Checklist, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWjn_mDQa3Q, I share three key areas which are important for thriving in the virtual, remote and hybrid world, including a focus on connection.

Earlier this year I shared the Six Layers of Connection in any virtual call – check it out here - https://www.potentialsrealized.com/teams-365-blog/teams365-2584-6-layers-of-connection-in-any-virtual-conversation

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?

You can also listen into what I have to say about it in Episode 35 of the Remote Pathways podcast. Be sure to listen in at https://www.remotepathways.com/podcast/ep35-six-layers-of-connection

Enjoy listening!
