Working in a Hybrid World

Are you: 

  • Having to work remotely now more than face-to-face or combine the two?
  • Leading a team that needs to perfect virtual collaboration?
  • Exploring new ways to deliver your training or consultancy offer online?

We have designed some virtual workshops specifically for people like you. They will change your life or, at least, radically improve your ability to work efficiently and enjoyably in virtual and hybrid spaces!

It’s easy to assume that everyone will adapt well if they have a laptop, PC, phone and internet connection; that they’ll share the same work patterns and habits virtually as they do face to face, and that they’ll have the same expectations of each other as they do when co-located. We see time after time that this isn’t the case.

Over two sessions we’ll share 23 years of research and expertise to help you gain new insight and learn techniques to enable you and others to work just as well apart as you do together, if not better!

Workshop 1: 120-minute Connection Class

We’ll cover the basics on how to thrive and do great work when you’re not physically together:

  • Generating and maintaining trust
  • How to truly collaborate in a virtual space to reach joint outcomes
  • Tools for sharing work in real-time and making decisions together
  • Insight and awareness about behaviours: not everyone reacts the same way
  • Staying connected and not feeling like you’re missing out, socially or career-wise, when working virtually

Workshop 2: 150-minute Collaboration Clinic

We’ll explore questions that emerge in the first webinar and raise awareness of approaches and tools to address some of the most common virtual working issues, which might include:

  • Upcoming large group meetings or events that are now happening in a virtual space
  • Team members joining or leaving, or other team dynamic changes that could be difficult to manage
  • Does everyone understand and agree on how you have decided to handle a particular situation or make decisions in the group?
  • How can you better support each other when remote working presents unforeseen problems & opportunities?
  • Anything else that you have noticed emerging in the current ways we’re working…

(please ask for tailored sessions for larger group sizes or alternative webinar duration)

There are plenty of advantages of working virtually but it’s a tricky road to navigate for those who aren’t used to it and even for those who are.

Don’t leave it to chance: these are skills, understanding and insights that will last well beyond any short-term challenges.

As with most of us within Learning and Development at the moment we are searching for more effective ways to engage and collaborate with colleagues in a virtual space.

Our team attended a two part Virtual Collaboration Workshop with Meeting Magic. Kenda and Katherine guided us through some really practical ways of helping us to achieve our goals - the workshop was very hands-on allowing us to experience tools and approaches as learners whilst understanding how they work as facilitators. We would highly recommend the workshop, it has given us the confidence we needed to take the next steps in our journey. Thank you Meeting Magic.
