Are you tired of staring at screens, listening to monotone voices, or nervous about boring your virtual audience? In these unprecedented times where all workshops and trainings have moved online, come join this workshop and learn how to maintain human connection virtually. This workshop will cover four key principles discussed in the IREX article "Four principles for maintaining human connections in online collaboration and learning" (https://bit.ly/362WAUG).
Whether you are new to virtual workshop facilitation or have gained experienced over the years, this workshop will cover methods and strategies to enhance your virtual connections with participants. This workshop will leave you aware of the key differences between in-person and online training, strategies to enhance your engagement, and prompt you to reflect on your virtual facilitation skills and content so that your participants say "yes!” to your next invitation, instead of “not another online session!”
