Special Limited-Time Offer:

Whether you are just starting a remote project team or leading an ongoing group from a distance, this session takes traditional team development ideas and expands them and makes them relevant (and practical) for a group working virtually.

Every leader we talk with, coach, or train tells us the same thing. They all have lots to do – more than they did six months or a year ago, with no end in sight.

The reality is that we are busy. We have full plates. We are balancing home and work life. We have incredible demands on us every day, and everyone expects their project to be done NOW!

In this session, we'll help you to get control of your day life and career. We start by identifying the unique challenges that confront remote workers, and robs them of both their productivity and time. You'll learn the importance of clarifying your role, your work and your goals and also how to make sure you and your organization are in sync right from the start.

Over half a manager’s time is spent on meetings, and fewer than 20% of managers have received any coaching or training in the dynamics of effective online meeting leadership.

It’s no wonder than that 60% of those meetings are considered wasted time by both participants and meeting leaders!

In this session, we teach simple rules and best practices for leading meetings that get results. No matter the presentation platform, you’ll learn how to speed up adoption of the tool and gain a greater return on your technology investment.

As a leader you know that helping your team member set goals - and then holding them accountable for those goals is part of your job. But more than that, it is critical to your success. Doing these things can be challenging in any setting, but when you are leading virtually, and not interacting or seeing your team members (and their work product) everyday, it is even more challenging. This session takes the principles of goal setting, supporting goal achievement and accountability and applies them to the unique challenges of doing it all at a distance.

If you lead a team or have responsibility for a project with people dispersed geographically, the challenges of giving feedback are heightened significantly. Not only are communication opportunities reduced, but in many cases it is harder to observe the behaviors you are coaching on. This session takes the principles of effective coaching and feedback and applies them to the unique challenges of doing it at a distance.

Like all of the sessions, this is highly interactive allowing participants to not only learn the principles and skills but get their specific questions answered. Participants will leave with the workshop handouts and checklists and tools to help them succeed in their coaching opportunities.

The series concludes the way it begins – with you and both facilitators together to tie up the loose ends, solidify your knowledge, answer your questions and basically be your coach. You and your cohort of learners will have the chance to pick each other and your facilitators' brains, and they will share their latest thinking and lessons on all things related to leading remotely.
