Just as in any facilitation role, it can be useful to build your virtual facilitation toolkit. If you are leading a number of webinars, or virtual team meetings it can be useful to have a variety of tools you can use whether you meet on a bridgeline, WebEx, AdobeConnet or Zoom.
Consider doing some research and/or acquiring learning tools in these areas
Openers
Closers
Decision Making
Consensus Generation – making sure everyone is on the same page or being aware of how you can come to a decision based on majority, quorum or other
Goal Setting
Planning
Strategic Planning
Moving through change
Working around conflict
Prioritization
Work-Life issues
Team/Group Development (helping them at the different stages of forming, storming, norming, performing and adjourning)
As part of the Virtual Facilitation Skills Intensive (stating next week Friday at 3 pm ET running for 10 weeks we cover more than 2 dozen tools to incorporate into your virtual facilitation work).
Have a great Wednesday,
