Meeting Effectiveness and Leading Virtual Teams

One-day Workshop Presented by Tero International

We’ve all been there. Captive in a meeting that drags on seemingly forever and nothing is accomplished.

Ineffective meetings are nothing new. What is new is how the meeting environment has changed. Meeting leaders and participants alike are not only challenged with in-person meeting effectiveness, we are now in an environment where virtual teams and virtual meetings are common.

Most meeting leaders are not equipped with the skills to effectively facilitate a meeting. Similarly, many meeting participants contribute to the problem through their own ineffective skills.

This engaging and interactive one-day workshop provides skills, tools and strategies for effective in-person and virtual meetings. The day concludes with best practices for leading virtual teams. Virtual teams in the past were common for global organizations. Today, organizations that are large and small, local and global are wrestling with this challenge

Some of the research on meeting effectiveness and virtual teams is still emerging. In this training, participants sort through many of the contradictions in the research to identify practical tips and strategies they can apply immediately for greater effectiveness.

When done poorly, meetings are one of the most common barriers to effectiveness in organizations. Done well, they can represent cost savings, higher performance and competitive advantage
