Short Workshop: Leading effective virtual meetings across cultures

Since 2020, virtual working from the home office has become the “new work” routine overnight. Travel options and face2face meetings suddenly disappeared, but projects still had to continue. By remote control, with trial and error. Without specific preparation or training in this previously little-used medium. Since then, many people have found themselves in a day that is riddled with online meetings. Terms like “zoom fatigue,” “resilience,” etc. indicate that face2face meeting principles do not simply translate into the virtual space. Because virtual collaboration is here to stay in the post-Covid era, it is time for a moment of individual pause, reflection on own experiences and sharing of tools & rules for successful virtual communication. The Short Workshop insight into the dynamics of virtual communication and cross-cultural collaboration.
