The Effective Facilitator: Virtual Link

Add to Our Flagship Course

The demand for virtual meetings has increased, and so has the need for virtual meeting skills. Meeting leaders are faced with significant challenges of keeping virtual meetings productive.

Specifically designed for individuals who have completed training in The Effective Facilitator, this course unveils the engagement tools and techniques you need to make your virtual meetings more productive – even from behind a screen or speaker. You will be taken through each of the 10 principles you learned in The Effective Facilitator with instruction on how to apply the skills virtually and with hands-on engagement. The same proven methodology you learned to apply in your face-to-face meetings are adapted to the virtual environment so that your remote meetings will be just as successful. In just one day, you will walk away with the preparation and confidence to use your virtual facilitation skills immediately. Our instructors promise the same Practical, Dynamic, Interactive approach – our “PDI Difference” – you experienced in The Effective Facilitator.
