High-Performing Teams Workshop: How to Successfully Lead Hybrid Meetings

Workshop Format: Sailboat Workshop

Hybrid meetings are the new norm, and this workshop will help you navigate the complexities of leading them effectively.

Workshop Process:

1. Introduction: We start by using the metaphor of a sailboat to help the team reflect on progress and challenges in hybrid meetings.
2. Identifying Drivers: What’s currently driving your team forward? These are represented by the wind in the sail.
3. Exploring Challenges: What’s holding your team back? These are symbolized by the anchor slowing the boat down.
4. Prioritization: Cluster and prioritize the identified challenges.
5. Brainstorming Solutions: In the next phase, the team brainstorms potential solutions for the most significant challenges.
6. Refinement & Presentation: Ideas are clustered, prioritized, and refined before being presented to the group for further discussion and action planning.
