Leading your team effectively from home
Many organisations have provided options for working at home for years, and yet many still disliked it when people took it up. Often we were told it wouldn’t work because of “technical issues”, or a need for face-to-face contact, but what was the real reason? After all, most IT departments have used off-shore workers - and made that model work - for well over a decade.
Lockdown has proved that it is possible for us to have teams working remotely. We have the technology now. We've used it 'in anger' and, for the most part, it works. There are some challenges, of course, but the main ones have been eradicated. What excuses are left?
You'll have to come along to find out. This course explores three key aspects for you to consider when leading a remote team. None of them are technical. All of them much more important than that.

I provide training in the most useful format for you. That could be face-to-face or virtual. When virtual, I've found it best to split content across 2 or 3 sessions, as 6 hours on-line isnt the best for really learning anything! You also learn more when the sessions are spread out.
After an initial discussion about your specific requirements, I will create a short outline of a proposed course or programme, including costs. When you agree to proceed on this basis, we will set a date/time and location for the workshop(s) and I will generate a formal quote to enable you to provide a purchase order number. Email confirmation of the booking will be taken as binding. Terms and Conditions are available on request - including cancellation terms.
With the 2020 lockdown due to COVID-19, I had to migrate quickly from front-of-room training to completely online delivery. One of the first things was a way to make it really interactive. I adopted ‘Poll Everywhere’ for live polling, 'Mural' for live white boarding, and 'GiraffePad' as my online learning environment.
