What Makes a Great Virtual Meeting?

• Virtual meetings are productions– Prepare, practice, stage, engage

“Communication is the transfer of emotion”

—Seth Godin

Have You Asked these Questions?

• Is everyone who’s supposed to be on the call present?• Are you fully equipped and ready to go on time?• Does your agenda tell a compelling story?• Do you “show” not “tell” when you speak?• Have you included at least one surprise?

In the Best Virtual Meetings …

• First “Get Voices in Room”

As we focus on our shared screens…

Overall Guidelines for Virtual Meetings

Roles Rotate presenter, facilitator, host Assign note-taker, timekeeper Pair "break" buddies Post notes immediately

Etiquette If no agenda, then no meeting Post pre-reading in advance Use Agenda Template for presentation Be on time if not early Don’t use hold – yikes, music! When not talking, mute phone,

computer speakers to prevent feedback

Process Check-in: go around “face map” Get voices in room with ice breaker Say name each time you speak Avoid status reporting Generate heat: Discuss, disagree,

decide Evaluate meeting via +/∆ template Check out around map

Ten StrategiesTo Deal with Basic Meeting Problems

1. Plan ahead2. Sequence topics

strategically3. Identify a facilitator or host4. Use non-work related

check-ins/team builders5. Clarify roles (who’s there &

why)6. Use desired outcomes

7. Clarify decision making8. Conduct “round robins” to

get all opinions out/open before you narrow

9. Get agreement on problem before getting agreement on solution

10. Conduct +/∆ meeting evaluation

“Can You Please Repeat the Question?”

What’s wrong with multitasking?

Do you check email in face-to-face meetings?

Do you check email more often when others are remote?

Why do you attend meetings when you only partially listen?

Is it preferable for some people to be together, others remote?

How do you engage remote peoplewhen everyone else is together?

What is multitasking doing to our brains?

“I pay more attention when there’s

something on screen.”—Senior Director

• Schedule practice sessions • Use the Storyboard Template to create a detailed agenda for

use by presenter, facilitator, and host• Send invitation to attendees well in advance • Set up the room: Prepare and upload all content items

beforehand; makes meeting flow• Practice, practice, practice!!! • Rehearse, rehearse, and rehearse!!!

Creating Your Agenda & Presentation

• Draft Agenda with timing for each section; duplicate and insert at beginning of each section

• Add conference call information to presentation title slide that starts virtual meeting

• Be sure to include Introductions: Facilitator, host, and their roles; name(s) of presenter(s) include photo, biography

• Create Visual map of Committee Members (with pictures)• Reiterate Norms such as muting phone, how you’re using chat• Notify participants as to whether sessions are being recorded• Point out where, how to access supplemental materials and handouts

(i.e., NEA-Committees Groupsite)• Remind people who to contact for technical support during session

Agenda & Presentation continued

• Insert “Any Questions?” slide into your presentation after each major section.– Reminds you to stop to encourage participation

• Engage Participants at least every ten minutes– As for feedback, use text chat, hand raising or Q&A– Best times for feedback is at beginning or end of new topic or section– For an hour long meeting, preload six polls with appropriate questions.

• Schedule Breaks: If meeting is longer than an hour, schedule a 5-minute break mid-way through

– For longer meetings, take break at 45 minutes– Ask participants to do an exercise or activity during the break– Start meeting again on the hour and have participants report on break exercise or activity

• If your PowerPoint file is large, break it up into two or three smaller files– 10 MB is rough size limit for PowerPoint files that can be loaded into virtual meeting room

Use Formatted Agenda,Return to Agenda to Indicate Progress

Use +/∆ to Review Meeting at End

End with News of Next Steps

Increasing Participation

Set/Reiterate Ground Rules:Some Common Ones

• No sidebar conversations• No multitasking (e.g., running e mail while participating in the ‐

virtual meeting)• Everyone says name each time they speak• Use of “mute” technology as per group agreement

– Most groups prefer that non active speakerphones be muted to ‐minimize extraneous noise/feedback

• Agree on how to use chat and hand-raising

Set Participation Expectationsat Beginning

• Explain whether expecting lots of participation or if mainly information-only call

• With smaller group, people probably able to just speak up• With medium-size group (fewer than 30), ask people to use

Raise Hand or Chat to speak or ask questions• When using PGi Event Services for large groups, remove Raise

Hand option; use phone queue only for questions• For logistical issues, encourage participants to use email (for

LiveMeeting) or private chat (for Adobe Connect) to communicate with you individually as host

Simple Pointers to Increase Participation

• Meet (virtually) with as many participants as possible prior to meeting for practice sessions

• Arrange for multiple presenters• Separate roles of presenter, facilitator, host

– Facilitator monitors and introduces hand-raising; presenter responds

• Address frequent, clearly worded questions to specific people; wait for responses– Use preformatted slides with questions as necessary– Use pre-loaded polls to obtain responses– Acknowledge each response insofar as practical– Reveal prepared answers to questions after people have responded

Prompt Participant InteractionAt Minimum Every 10 Minutes with Polls

• Use polls to get feedback, vote, test knowledge• You may be able to share results immediately with

participants or save for later analysis• Prepare up to 6 polls in advance for a one-hour meeting• Pre-populate polls

Closing and Follow-up

• Restate and confirm conclusions drawn from the meetings.• Conduct meeting evaluation using + / ∆ method

– Capture this information to share with other Committee Staff Liaisons– Helps us to learn together as we go forward

• Thank you to speaker(s) and participants• Follow-up immediately (within 48 hours) with meeting notes and action

items, next steps, assignments, and tasks to complete– Include link to the NEA Committee Groupsite– Put link to recording on the Groupsite and with any materials.

And Remember the Importance of Trust

Interactions

Media

Every team needs trust to start

Trust provides grease for ongoing hard work of team

Team leaves behind a legacy of trust (or not)

Importance of trust cuts across virtual team’s life cycle

Trust is the lifeblood of 21st-century organizations

Trust is confidence in, reliance onintegrity, strength, ability, and surety of someone else

Strategy for Success at a Distance

80% People + 20% Technology

Myth Meeting virtually is about using

right technology

Reality Meeting virtually requires understanding

people, culture, organization, and collaboration

And, Always Remember …

Focus on your meeting objectives, not the technology
