Need a Quick-Start to Leading Great Online Meetings?
Leading Engaging & Effective Online Meetings is a self-study, quick-start course on how to facilitate collaborative, energizing online meetings. In the course, you will learn online facilitation tips and techniques coming from over 15 years of experience in leading and developing organizations, teams and communities online.
With a focus on meetings with more than 2-3 participants and which are longer than 1 hour, the processes and techniques taught in this course will be helpful for:
- Board meetings, project meetings, and team meetings where you want to create an environment that connects and engages all participants
- Groups needing to draw upon the collective wisdom, ideas and strengths of participants to develop solutions to urgent problems or needs
- Meetings where you want to expand collaboration, innovation and stronger relationships within a team or network
NOTE: If the purpose of your meetings are to only deliver information to participants, rather than engage them in developing solutions, then we suggest you look at other meeting formats such as a webinar.
What you will experience in this course
In this course, you will learn tips, techniques and skills to:
- Plan and design engaging and effective online meetings
- Prepare yourself to effectively lead participative meetings
- Invite participants to fully show up, prepared and on-time
- Begin meetings in a way that genuinely connects, engages and gives participants a voice from the start
- Work with groups in a way that engages the collective wisdom, encourages collaboration and promotes results
- End your online meetings in ways that summarize conclusions, invite feedback and energize the actions going forward
The course contains 39 modules (learning steps) which includes video, text and diagram explanations and demonstrations. It also contains downloadable exercises and tools to help you plan, design and prepare meetings. For maximum benefit, we also recommend that you take extra time to practice and experience the techniques and tools taught in this course with your team or group.
While the primary focus of this course is not to teach you about the technology, for your convenience we have included basic videos and information about two online platforms that we use — Zoom and QiqoChat. This will be particularly helpful if you are still looking for an effective meeting platform or you wish to learn more about the basic features and benefits of these products.
This well-designed Self Study online course has aided in my understanding of Whole person engagement process of a meeting. I appreciated the attentiveness that this process has brought to many aspects of facilitating a meeting.
The day I started this course, I excitedly waited for the next day to continue the self study reflective process! I was fully immersed in it till the survey section. My colleagues will appreciate the fine nuances of this coursework & will be able to apply with ease & joy.
