Is your team working fully or partially remote?
My team and I have been working virtually for over 10 years, so I've learned what's most important in creating engaging and effective virtual meetings.
#1 - Be prepared! Sounds simple, but I've been on many meetings where the host get's on last, or is late. It's not a good look my friend.
#2 - Know your technology! This is overlooked a lot. People think because they've used a system a few times that it will work every time. Guess what? Technology isn't perfect, and neither are you - make sure you set everything up several minutes before your meeting/event starts.
#3 - Set ground rules! Will your team be able to ask questions in the chat box? Will they be able to communicate with each other in the chat box? Will they be on mute? Will there be a waiting room before they can get into the meeting?
#4 - Facilitate collaboration! This is HUGE my friend! Make sure your meeting allows for everyone to ask questions, give input, and BE HEARD. If you liked this episode give it a like and let me know what tip you'll utilize first!
