Are you needing to move your training, meetings or other conversations to the virtual or remote space quickly, but don't know how? Need to ramp up your skills and understanding of leading and holding conversations virtually QUICKLY?

We specialize in providing support and skill development with remote work and having effective virtual conversations. Check out my 2017 book, Effective Virtual Conversations, on Amazon.

For those that need to get up to speed with virtualizing their offerings, or working with people who can't physically get together, over the next few months I'll be offering a special one-day offering of the Virtual Facilitation Essentials program each Wednesday. This program is geared to give you the basics on leading effective virtual conversations whether you  are leading conference calls, webinars or interactive web streaming sessions.

Usually delivered as five weeks (as it will continue to be -and will start again on Feb 24th)  these special one day sessions will run from 830 - 430 pm Eastern/New York Via Zoom.

In this special offering our time together will be spent 
Module 1 – Virtual Facilitation Foundations
  • Four Essential ingredients for virtual facilitation
  • The range of virtual facilitation options
  • Core Skills for Virtual Facilitation -and how yours stack up

Module 2 – Approaches and Engagement Strategies for Effective Virtual Learning
  • Different virtual design options
  • Foundations of engagement – practical approaches for engagement
  • Core elements for Effective, and Engaging, Virtual Events

Module 3 – Building your Facilitation Toolkit
Whether you are leading meetings, webinars or other virtual events, having a robust toolkit to draw up upon is key. This session introduces you to more than 12 virtual facilitation approaches – from openers, to closers to goal setting and accountability in the virtual space.

Module 4 – Exploring the Technologies
  • Exploring breakouts and technology issues
  • Core logistical issues to consider
  • Different roles in a virtual event
  • Evaluating virtual events

Module 5 - Tricky issues and how to keep the conversation going
Your action planning

You'll also have the opportunity to "get behind the dashboard" of virtual sessions, and you'll get to practice some of the more essential elements of starting calls, recording, doing breakouts etc.

The one day intensive virtual format will be a just-in-time opportunity to learn and start gaining confidence in your skills. The program will be of interest to people who need to lead virtual conversations quickly. For those that have more time to learn, join us for the more extended five week program.

This special one-day program will be offered on Wednesdays. You can choose from:

Wednesday February 5 - 8 - 4 pm Eastern/New York - virtually
Wednesday  February 12 - 10 - 6 pm Eastern/New York
Wednesday February 19 - 8 - 4 pm Eastern/New York
Wednesday February 26 - 8-4 pm Eastern/New York

Cost: $475 US which includes the one day virtual session, a 15 minute pre call and post call, plus module notes which include the core elements of our training.  You'll also have access to a robust video library of more than 2 dozen calls related to virtual facilitation and coaching.

#Teams365 2155: Week In review   - Last Mile, Systems, and Black Friday Specials

11/24/2019

0 Comments

 
It's Sunday which means that it's time for another Week in Review. You'll find the posts listed below.

Before we get there, a couple of exciting announcements:

First, the Remote Pathways Podcast which I am co-hosting with Michelle Mullins is going live this week. The podcast will follow the people, places and pathways of remote work. We're exploring the landscape of 12 types of remote work - from professional coaches, to project managers, sales professionals, to those attached to larger offices working remote several days a month, to remotepreneurs.

My writing around Remote Pathways and the Digital Dozen started this past summer as part of a literacy fundraiser is was part of called the Muskoka Novel Marathon. It's exciting to see how that writing set the seeds for the podcast and also a guide for new remote workers which will be published in 2020. Stay tuned.

You can check out the first episode of Remote Pathways here. more info on how to subscribe coming soon. It's already available via Spotify

The second announcement is that my annual Black Friday sales have started and are on until December 3rd. This year I am offering discounts of several of the digital products including the Conversation Sparker Cards, and 20 AReas to support Remote and Virtual Teams (ebook), as well as a 35% discount on my two annual groups - Learning Lab and Design Studio (geared for coaches, trainers, facilitators and other program designers), and the Coaching Biz Growth Lab (for coaches growing their business). I hope you'll take advantage of these savings over the next week! Check out the savings at the Potentials Realized store!

So now, onto this past week's blog posts:

Saturday's Weekly Journaling Prompt #72 - What path are you on? Read it here

Friday's Flashback - Team Wrap-up Questions - earmark for year-end conversations! Read it here

I am pleased to announce the launch of the Fall 2014 Cohort of the Teams365 Team Leader Foundations program. The Foundations program currently consists of 8 training modules. the program is geared for new and aspiring team leaders, as well as experienced team leaders who may not have participated in formal leadership training before. There are 8 modules in total and together they create a solid foundation for team leadership.

Practical and action oriented and resource rich, each program runs over a series of 4-6 weeks, and meets for one hour call or webinar.  These are training modules. If you are interested in coaching, please check out our 4 and 6 month Coaching Groups for new and experienced team leaders. Class size is capped at 10-12 leaders per cohort or session. While you don't need to take all 8 in the series, we hope that there will be a core moving through each cohort.

Each Teams Team Leader Foundations(TM) module addresses a core skill area for team leaders including:
- Stepping Into Your Leadership Style
- Team Leadership Foundations
- Time Management
- Emotional Intelligence
- Coaching Skills for Leaders
- Conflict Management
- Facilitation Skills Foundations
- Relationship Management

Our first module will launch in September with the six week Stepping Into Your Leadership Style. It will provide you with a look at what you bring to as a team leadership. I'll also be incorporating the Everything DiSC so you receive information about your unique style.  Calls will be held on Thursdays from 12 - 1 pm Eastern/New York running from September 11 to October 16.

Modules can also be taken separately. It can also be offered internally at your organization should you wish to roll it out to your own team leaders.
