In this expert session led by Lisette Sutherland, the focus is on mastering the art of virtual work and creating team cohesion in a remote or hybrid environment. The speaker emphasizes the importance of building transparency and alignment among team members to ensure productivity and effective collaboration.
A key aspect is maintaining clear communication through various channels like email, instant messaging, video conferencing, and project management tools. Team-building activities such as virtual games, happy hours, and lunches help foster connections between team members.
Defining roles and responsibilities clearly and scheduling regular check-ins for progress discussions and feedback are essential. Virtual whiteboards and collaboration tools enable teams to work together in real time on projects.
Encouraging virtual water cooler conversations helps build camaraderie and a sense of community.
Respecting flexible working hours, investing in the right technology, empowering team members with trust and autonomy, and providing access to virtual training programs are additional strategies for successful remote work.
The session highlights the importance of having personal user manuals or team agreements. Sharing what one is working on is important but requires finding a balance, avoiding excessive details or distractions.
Tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams help maintain an informative yet non-spamming environment.
When engaging remote participants in meetings, it's vital to have a clear purpose and agenda, effective online facilitation skills, and to allow flexibility in attendance. Providing recordings for those unable to attend keeps everyone informed. Icebreaker questions during professional meetings promote participation and engagement.
The speaker addresses the challenges of creating company culture in a remote environment, emphasizing transparency, fairness, and working out loud. Focusing on results, creating a strong online presence, and acknowledging everyone's unique motivations are key to fostering cohesive teams.
No prior knowledge is assumed. It is built for a general working audience, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction. What the hour itself covers: Thrive Anywhere addresses critical aspects of remote work, such as managing time effectively, creating connections across dispersed teams, and resolving conflicts remotely. Learn actionable strategies to enhance remote work efficiency, balance work-life commitments, and improve team dynamics.
A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.
Lisette Sutherland is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.2 out of 5, across 17 responses, and rate Lisette personally 4.5 out of 5.
It is interactive, and the block higher up on this page says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Lisette, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
