“𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐢𝐭 & 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐝”, 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐧?? 😵💫 Let us make it easy for you: “Values Fit” means that the values of your organisation should remain constant. Contrary to that, culture should not be “fit” but evolve and adapt to the team and environmental diversity. So, “Culture Add”, not fitting in. That means that your workplace culture isn’t pre-set but co-created by every single member of the team. 🌐 Now, if you are not happy with your workplace culture, are you not responsible as well? 🤔 This is especially important in international virtual teams: take ownership and work actively towards an environment where everybody is equally part of. In online meetings and in-person: communication is one of the most important steps towards inclusivity. Remember: listen actively & try to really understand what your colleagues are saying. 💡“𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑐𝑎𝑛’𝑡 ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑒 “𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑖𝑡”.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲? 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲! ✨ Why do some workplaces have so much energy and others just... don’t? 🤔 A positive work culture isn't just a nice extra—it's a game changer for how productive and happy you and your coworkers are! That’s also the case for virtual teams by the way - even though you can switch off the camera later, some meetings are energy-givers and some are energy-drainers. What do you prefer? The answer is obvious, and here’s why positivity at work REALLY pays off: ❤️🩹Healthier Teams: Forget the high-pressure grind. Lower stress means fewer sick days and health issues. 🫂Loyal Employees: When people feel valued, they stick around. Say goodbye to high turnover! 💡Boosted Creativity: Happy teams are creative teams. They come back faster and come up with the best ideas. Creating this kind of environment relies on simple, yet powerful principles. Check below to see if your virtual team already prioritizes a positive work culture - or if there is still way to go. If that’s the case: make a change! Remember, a positive workplace isn’t just more enjoyable—it’s also more successful. It draws in talent, sparks loyalty, and drives incredible outcomes.

It's not just the stories we tell, but how they bring diverse perspectives to life. Barbara, the founder of #VirtualSpaceHero recently picked up "The Art of Storytelling Across Cultures" by Joanna Sell, and it's like unlocking a treasure chest of wisdom. Joanna’s insights aren’t just for telling stories—they’re about creating experiences that cross borders and connect hearts. 📚 One thing that stood out for us was the Rainbow Model. Imagine using all five senses to build your stories—turning every virtual learning journey into an unforgettable cultural adventure. 🌈 So, why start with storytelling? Simple. Stories are the heartbeat of engagement. They draw us in, making learning memorable and meaningful. When we kick off with a great story, we connect, inspire, and empower our audience to see the world through a kaleidoscope of perspectives. Whether you're a seasoned educator or just dipping your toes into virtual learning, Joanna Sell's book is a game-changer. 🌟 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬?

Lona Alia got us inspired ✨: By working remotely, you can enjoy nutritious home-cooked meals, incorporate regular exercise into your day, ensure quality sleep, nurture personal relationships, and reduce stress by eliminating commutes. These practices, endorsed by the Stanford Center on Longevity, can become your guiding principles for a healthier life. 🌱 Embracing this "life-centric" approach to work can extend your "health span" — the time you spend healthy, not just alive. Additionally, companies benefit from this as well, witnessing a surge in creativity, engagement, and overall performance when employees prioritize their health. Find below our video where we'll look into the specific tips and strategies to help you implement these changes and achieve remarkable results! 💪 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐚 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞? 🍏 ********************** At #VirtualSpaceHero we are a team of remote work and hybrid leadership experts 🚀 Supporting you in leveraging the power of hybrid and virtual teams and learning in your organization. 🚀 Providing training, consultancy, and keynotes in more than 10 languages.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟓% 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐀 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫!🎉 Ever been in a virtual meeting that felt longer like forever? Let’s talk about the 5% rule and how it can transform our virtual gatherings from marathon sessions into effective, enjoyable exchanges. 💡 The 5% rule is simple: allocate just 5% of the meeting time to set clear goals, align on outcomes, and ensure everyone knows their roles. In a 60-minute meeting, that's only 3 minutes. Trust me, these 3 minutes are pure gold. 👉 Start with a quick rundown of the meeting’s purpose and desired outcomes. 👉 Next, assign roles like note-taker or time-keeper. It keeps things on track and everyone involved. Why bother? Because clarity and structure prevent those "what are we even talking about?" moments. It ensures we focus on decisions, not detours. Plus, it makes meetings shorter. Who doesn’t love that? 🫣 So, let’s embrace the 5% rule and make our virtual meetings more productive, engaging, and maybe even a little fun. Because, honestly, we all have better things to do than sit in endless meetings. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤?

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝? 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭? 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬! 💡 How do introverted traits transform the workplace? 🤔 Introverts bring a unique set of strengths, including deep thinking, focused attention, and thoughtful communication. 🧘 One compelling example of harnessing these traits comes from Jeff Bezos and his unique approach to meetings at Amazon: At Amazon, important meetings start with everyone reading a well-prepared memo in silence. This "study hall" method ensures that everyone has time to think deeply before the discussion begins. The result? More thoughtful, inclusive, and productive meetings. 💪 Thorough preparation, inclusivity, efficiency, and fostering a culture of respect are key to productive and meaningful meetings.
