Join us for a joint lunchtime meeting of the
PMI SC Midlands & Charleston SC Chapters!
As we move beyond the pandemic, the convenience offered by virtual meetings is here to stay. But it’s easy for discussions in a virtual environment to become routine, sterile, predictable, or downright boring. Unlike in-person gatherings, where it’s easier to establish rapport, develop relationships and have more personal conversations, the virtual world makes these meaningful interactions more difficult, if not impossible.
Join us as Guy Grindborg shares practical suggestions and ideas to help make your remote meetings more interactive, engaging, and fun.
Learning Objectives
- Understand how to overcome the limitations of virtual meetings
- Understand which communication options to use to enhance interaction
- Recognize the important role of proactive facilitation techniques
- Understand how to incorporate training, coaching, and peer review opportunities to improve engagement while developing your team
