TIPS for Virtual Meeting
Come Prepared and share the minute to minute agenda in advance
Use Video if possible, Don’t worry about looking perfect on video calls; its more about showing up
Find a quiet spot to make your participant feel safe and secure
Moderators should feel empowered to make sure the discussion stays on track, is inclusive of all members, and provides an actionable outcome.
Give virtual support while your participants are speaking with actions options and chat options
Decide on a “One Action” at the end of the meeting
