What's Your Virtual Mindset? |
Here we are, waiting for something so that we can get back to working together, training together, and singing together. (I sing in a choir, so I miss that chance to harmonize.) But what if the hybrid workplace and hybrid training are here to stay? Who knows? Maybe this virus will keep mutating and we will keep trying, for many more months, to ensure that our employees and customers are protected, at least until it is more certain that we can be together safely. |
Imagine that you will be delivering facilitated virtual training via video and web conferencing for at least another year. Let me ask you, “What is your virtual mindset?” Do you find that depressing? Or do you see that as an opportunity to leverage online collaboration and meeting tools for your virtual team? Can you entertain the possibility that connection, trust, and collaboration might really be possible online? Would it be fun and challenging (in a good way) to level up your virtual leadership skills? Do you want to develop your skills so that virtual facilitation becomes something you love?
The folks who embrace the present exactly as it is, without wishfully looking back at the past, can respond resiliently to the circumstances we are all experiencing right now. I want to be one of them. That doesn’t mean I don’t have moments when I miss the way things used to be. But I know that my creativity and innovative spirit will emerge when I embrace what’s happening today with curiosity and eagerness. There’s a question I ask myself when I am in resistance to present conditions: What if my present circumstances are exactly what needs to be happening for my greatest growth and development?
Today I ask myself: How can I make virtual training the best possible experience for myself and my participants? What collaboration tools look fun and easy to learn? How can I weave those tools into my online training events? How can I add more value to our client projects? How will I have fun, enjoy the journey, and celebrate making a difference in the world?

Virtual Producer Course
Every virtual facilitator needs a capable virtual training producer. A strong producer frees the facilitator to focus on the learners' experience, not the technology. If you want to develop the skills of your own virtual classroom producers, check out our Virtual Producer Course.
We offer a private version of this course for four or more participants. But we are offering a special one-time public class this October. You can register for our upcoming public Virtual Producer course, which begins on October 13th.
