Explore how to design and facilitate successful hybrid meetings by addressing complexity, mastering technology, planning for engagement, and ensuring post-meeting alignment and accountability.
Navigate the complexities of hybrid meetings by designing for two experiences—roomies and zoomies. Ensure inclusive participation, clear communication, and engagement across in-person and online interactions.
Review the wrap-up and next steps, answer reflection questions, and commit to two to three improvements with a plan to measure success in your next meeting.
Welcome to Better in 30: Facilitating Successful Hybrid Meetings!
In about a half hour, you will learn how to make the hardest, trickiest, and often the most frustrating kind of meetings -- hybrid meetings -- simpler, better, and more effective for the facilitator AND the participants.
In theory, a hybrid meeting is the best of both worlds: in-person participants get to engage in face-to-face collaboration and connection, and online participants get to attend from anywhere, without having to make a special trip into an offer.
In practice, a hybrid meeting is often the WORST of everything. In-person participants miss a lot of what the online participants want to contribute, and online participants often feel minimized or left out entirely.
In this course, you'll learn how to minimize the challenges of hybrid meetings while maximizing the mindsets, behaviors, processes, and tools that will set you and your meeting up for success.
