Scrum Event and Judy Rees present: Overcoming the difficulties of remote meetings

Abstract:
What makes remote meetings, workshops and training so difficult?

As great in-the-room trainers, facilitators and coaches increasingly do their thing remotely, we can recognise three big challenges, the Difficult-Ds:

• Distraction
• Disconnection (both literal and metaphorical)
• Discomfort
• Disembodiment

To make our remote meetings and events brilliant, we need to tackle these. But with a little effort, it really is possible!

In this highly-interactive session, I’ll share top tips, and aim to crowdsource additional ideas from you.

About Judy Rees:

Revised bio: Judy Rees works with senior leaders, operational managers, teams, coaches, and all kinds of “change professionals” to develop advanced communication skills. Her specialism is supporting highly diverse teams to connect effectively, even when members rarely (or never) meet in person.

She facilitates online meetings, workshops, conferences and unconferences, and teaches great-in-the-room facilitators and trainers to do their thing remotely.

As a former news journalist and media executive, she’s been working with geographically distributed teams since long before it became mainstream. She’s the co-author of the specialist bestseller Clean Language: Revealing Metaphors and Opening Minds as well as a number of ebooks and online courses, including Virtual Leadership Secrets.
