The past year has brought us many things – a greater sense of community and neighborly awareness, distanced picnics and exercising, an increase in video calls in the older generations and my favorite… the Tiger King on Netflix!
We’ve seen numerous changes in the way we work; the vast majority of us are working from home for the first time and for many of us, this will be a permanent change. Organizations have realized that there are countless benefits of going virtual too.
One of those benefits comes in the form of Virtual Meetings – these help businesses to save time and create efficiency, reduce cost of travel and overnight stays and by reducing travel Virtual Meetings are kinder to the planet. It also connects us with more people around the globe than ever before.
Whether you’re using MS Teams, Zoom or GoToMeeting, I’m sure that we can all agree that we’ve been faced with challenges transitioning to Virtual Meetings.
Having worked virtually for over 5 years in education and L&D, I’d love to share with you some tips and tricks for creating engagement in your virtual meetings.
1. Virtual Icebreakers
Let’s think about it… if we met someone face to face, would we head straight into our sales pitch or agenda? No! It’s really fun to start a meeting off with a Virtual Icebreaker and it builds the foundations for great relationships, especially if you are meeting with a new client for the first time.
An icebreaker whether virtual or in person helps relax your participants and eases everyone into the group meeting or learning situation, ready to engage. You can pretty much do any traditional icebreaker in the virtual environment, so get creative.
