Training Description
The training “Effective use of virtual and/or hybrid meetings” shows how to lead meetings goal-oriented, even under difficult circumstances. You will learn specific virtual facilitation techniques. You will gain a feeling for being able to better assess and control the reactions and contributions of your colleagues/employees.
The training is based on the methodology of experiential learning. In the training we follow the 4-step Coverdale learning cycle of planning – implementation – review – consolidation in the general session. We will work together, either virtually or in a hybrid format.

success factors

For virtual or hybrid meetings, the above-mentioned success factors are crucial. If it is only about synchronising a team or passing on information, a hybrid meeting is unproblematic. It becomes difficult when something has to be worked out together in this setting. In this case, it is advisable to work with virtual whiteboards in which all participants can dial in, regardless of whether they are physically or virtually participating in the meeting.
