Data from Gallup, Harvard, Global Trends in Engagement etc. is showing us how a little focus on engagement can turbocharge bottom-line results like increased productivity and profit, better communication, stronger team bonds, deeper learning, retention, etc. The Virtual Engagement Conundrum: KEY CONCEPTS Engagement is super powerful... and you can create it. The more engaged you are, the more benefits accrue to you and those around you. If you want to be effective, involved, present, potent… then engagement is YOUR job. Discover how to be more engaging and harness this power for improved creativity, productivity, and bottom-line results at work and in your life. Wouldn’t it be better to find ways to be more present in online meetings and to create in others this engaged presence? This session explores ways to create engagement, both virtual and live, that will benefit your work, your teams, your organization and also your family, your friends and loved ones. Engagement is a superpower and spending time learning how to create it offers value that just keeps on giving. Overcoming zoom fatigue is important both for your own engagement and those you interact with (customers, stakeholders, partners…). TOOLBOX TIPS: 1.Active participation is the foundation of engagement. Learn how to create active participation (both virtual and live) in your teams, clients, customers, and staff. 2.Fight to be Positive: Turn negative to positive with engagement. 3.Learn how to monitor your own engagement, and importantly, how to make it contagious so that others are drawn into engagement.
