When teaching in a hybrid space, you will need to devote your attention to many different aspects and not lose sight of the main purpose of the meeting. This means that you may miss some important details. This is inevitable. The key to minimizing the damage this can cause is:
- careful planning of the meeting and preparation in advance;
- simplicity and brevity – choose a few online tools that you and the participants will use systematically. This will allow you to avoid a flurry of interesting but sometimes unnecessary distractions;
- working well with the whole team. You are the leader of the meeting, but it doesn’t mean you implement it alone. Some things may be noticed by the co-facilitator and others by the person responsible for keeping track of time, for example. Remember that you are a team.
ACTIVITIES
#Activity 1
Collaborative Goal-Setting
This goal-setting activity involves setting individual and team goals together. The manager can facilitate a team meeting where employees discuss their strengths and areas of improvement and then identify goals that align with the team’s objectives. For example,
a team of sales representatives may set a goal to increase sales by 10% in the next quarter. This activity encourages collaboration and ensures everyone works towards the same objectives.
