Course description
Leading Effective Virtual Meetings
The shift from in-person to virtual meetings requires a specific new skill set in order for leaders and participants to have maximum effectiveness.
An effective meeting leader must plan appropriately to keep participants engaged by creating an agenda with clear outcomes. In addition, they must be ready to manage the overall meeting experience and create and maintain a positive, safe atmosphere.
For effective and productive virtual meetings, an understanding of the effect that technology can have (particularly on participants) is also crucial. At the same time, meeting participants must know how to properly engage in the meeting to get their messages across, while maintaining diplomacy and credibility.
