Intro to Facilitating Online Meetings

Amidst COVID-19, we aim to make online workshops as accessible as possible. Fees are sliding scale; please use accordingly for access to these tools, including naming your own fee. Fees support participants unable to pay, and keep our program sustainable.

A strong team communicates effectively, builds trust in the face of challenges, and makes thoughtful decisions to advance its goals, while being inclusive of all voices. Unfortunately, online meetings can become boring or stagnant, hiding group and power dynamics and limiting a team’s ability to achieve its goals.

This introductory workshop offers experiential tools and techniques to facilitate online team meetings that support trust-building, effective decision-making and engagement of all members, regardless of technology and budget.
