You will learn facilitation techniques to keep your group engaged, dysfunction-free, and highly productive even when not in the same room. 

Virtual meetings are the norm today. Sure, you may know how to facilitate group meetings, but how are your virtual facilitation skills? Do you know how to use technology effectively to achieve maximum group results even when you’re not in the same room? How do you minimize the common challenges of meeting with remote staff, peers, and clients — that could inevitably impact your role and your organization’s culture? Too often, participants face the glaring temptation to multi-task behind the scenes. Dysfunction may erupt and slow down the productivity of a group without your knowledge. In this session, learn how to adapt facilitation skills to the virtual environment to keep your group engaged toward delivering results — even despite the common challenges.
