4/15/2018

Virtual teaming is increasingly a common activity. While the elements of team development remain the same, what are some of the nuances of virtual team development.

This week's Teams365 video brings to life an earlier blog post on 4 Virtual Teaming Tips. In it we explore the importance of knowing your people, and also rotating activities and elements so that it is not always the same person to has to "flex".

What are the areas which require focus on your virtual team right now?

Enjoy this week's video and be sure to check out our other Teams365 videos at our You Tube Channel. How might you bring one of them into your upcoming team meetings to spark some discussion?

Best wishes,

#Teams365 #1433: Sunday Video: Team Planning Questions for the New YEar

12/3/2017

0 Comments

Last week's Teams365 video included a number of questions for you as a team to consider as you reflect on this year's successes. Whether it occurs in the same conversation, or one shortly thereafter, it's likely that you will also be exploring questions around what you want to create in 2018. Today's Teams365 video includes Team Planning Questions for the new year. I hope that you will find 15-20 minutes as a team in the coming weeks to have some dialogue around what you want to create. Enjoy!

#Teams365 #1420: Effective Virtual Conversations Tip E22: Questions and Debrief

11/20/2017

0 Comments

We're kicking off this week with another EVC (Effective Virtual Conversations) tip, this one #22 in the series. I've enjoyed speaking on the new book for almost a year now and one of the areas a lot of leaders, coaches and other professionals wonder is "What's the quickest way I can make my virtual conversations more engaging?". Questions, and asking good questions, which stimulate dialogue and discussion are one of the best ways to provoke a powerful and productive conversation online.

Throughout the book I include a number of different questions you may want to incorporate. The challenge, and artform, in the virtual space is to get away from asking questions which are closed (Yes/No) and move to ones that are open ended.

Open-ended questions may invite exploration, create focus, provoke action or encourage self-reflection. Notice that these are all different things. As I have written in past blog posts, powerful questions are usually only 5-6 words in length, and usually start with WHAT. HOW Questions tend to take us into process, and WHY questions often encourage justification (unless we are asking it in the context of connecting with vision.

Questions also help to shape the form of a debrief, bringing us back to a series of questions which helps to get at the WHAT, SO WHAT, and NOW What of a Conversation.

A few months ago I put 20 of my favorite coaching questions into a short video. To round out today's post, let's take a look at this.

Have a great start to your week,
Jennifer
