Prepare and run your own engaging and productive hybrid meetings

Consider the factors that make Work Places and Local Communities Work

Description

This CPD certified course offers practical guidance & an overview of the recommended technology.  It is our main course for staff to get the learning and support the 'how to' do hybrid meetings, taking you from understanding into improving your planning of hybrid meetings and then into what to do on the day with all the aspects of set up and facilitation.

With staff choosing between working remotely and from the office, hybrid meetings are key to keep up productivity and communication within the team. For that, you don’t just need the technology to run smoothly, but also ensure that meetings are accessible, inclusive and fit for purpose. This course will give you everything you need to succeed.

In this course we will look at some of the key considerations of hybrid meetings and why they are an important part of our workplace capabilities now and in the future. We will explore some of the common challenges that we might face when participating in and facilitating blended/hybrid meetings and we will offer some tried and tested tools, strategies and approaches to support you in delivering your own successful hybrid meetings.

This course aims to…

  • Highlight some of the specific challenges of conducting good hybrid meetings

  • Introduce strategies and tools for delivering successful hybrid meetings

  • Provide an opportunity for you to reflect on the actions you can take in your context to improve hybrid meeting delivery

We are passionate about the changes that are coming about due to the changing nature of how we work. The technical challenges of running blended environments well, will mean that humans will have to think, prepare, and collaborate more to make blended meetings effective for all participants, whether they are in a room with colleagues or joining in remotely. This is all an opportunity. It is inevitable. We expect the reality will be that over the next couple of years the change in culture will be bumpy. We want to make that smoother. We want equality and parity of esteem. We want to live and work within the resources of 1 planet. We want that now... and meantime this shift is part of that jigsaw.

Really insightful and practical content. Would wholeheartedly recommend for both those considering hybrid for the first time as well as those looking to take their current meetings one stage further

This course was a good mix of thinking about planning as well as the technical issues that I have found get in the way of smooth and effective meetings. Thanks for the great course!

This was a great course building on the Intro course, and it enabled me to plan my next board meeting a bit differently. I think there are lots of practical stages for this new practice, but as a Chair of trustees, its now clear that hybrid meetings will be something I have to get used to. I'll be doing this course again in my own time occasionally as a refresher.

I really needed this course because I struggle with hybrid meetings. Having done the course, I now feel more confident and indeed more capable of organising, participating and even chairing hybrid meetings. Thanks!

The intoductory information told me what to expect and the course material has accurately reflected that expectation.

I'm just beginning to think about using hybrid meetings in my own practice, and so I found this course both interesting and useful. I especially appreciated how brief each lecture was the and variety of presentation within them; I have a low boredom threshold and this kept me interested. I also liked the mixture of meeting theory and practicalities to consider, and I'm very glad to have the Guidance and checklist to refer to in future. Will definitely recommend this course.

Clear communication from Duncan's calming voice. Well paced, learned loads about meetings per se, not only hybrid meetings - but also the technical and human elements of hybrid. Enjoyed the mix of short reading, listening, reflection and action. Many thanks for doing this.

Yes, I often am involved in hybrid meetings with my job and it allows people on different continents to be involved both in the communication and in the sharing of documentation. It does generally work easier if all parties are remote, when only one person remote, then do tend to be forgotten about and sometimes leaves them feeling not as involved in the conversation as they'd like to be.

Absolutely fantastic. Very well explained and exceptionally practical and thorough. Can't imagine any other course would be much better, exactly what I was looking for.

This is a really important topic, and clearly explained. The materials are well-produced, and it is helpful having so many different voices contributing their insights and experience. This course has helped me to reflect on taking a more structured approach to the organisation and running of my hybrid meetings, and I can already see practical applications that will help me to improve the meetings that I run.

As someone who has done alot of face to face facilitation, and a good amount of online facilitation too, hybrid meetings feel like they should come naturally, but it's a whole different approach and dynamic to be aware of. This course gives a great background to that dynamic and some really practical tips of how to work in a hybrid way with meetings.

A great course. Whilst I already have some experience of hybrid meetings, this course is full of practical hints and tips that I can immediately apply. I wish I had taken this before running my first sessions as it would have made my life much easier

I really liked this quick one hour course which was a blend of videos and slides. It gave me some real insights as to what I could do to create a much better environment for all participants in hybrid meetings. I've never really thought about the amount of preparation and planning that is required, so this was a bit of an eye opener and I'm about to do the 6 hour course to improve my learning further.
