Facilitating Remote and Online Meetings – Essential Success Skills provides a practical model and extensive toolkit for designing and facilitating online meetings.
This course offers specific strategies you can use immediately to create a participatory environment where all attendees are providing ideas, remaining engaged, and contributing to the meeting’s success. Attendees will learn how to merge their existing facilitation skills with online technology to manage meetings effectively even when you cannot get people together in the same room.
If you have a geographically dispersed audience but need greater collaboration and teamwork, this course is for you.
If your job is facilitating groups but travel problems get in the way, this course is for you.
If you already have a lot of online meetings but are not satisfied with their productivity, this course is for you.
All attendees will receive prepared material, demonstrations of online facilitation techniques and tools, and access to resources you can use after the course.

·       Design and implement a facilitation that is appropriate for the online environment.
