Successfully Transitioning from a Peer to a Manager

In today´s episode of Professional Success Podcast, your host Sheila Boysen-Rotelli, a Master Certified Career Coach, Recruiter, and Talent Development Leader, gives some tips on how to conduct effective hybrid meetings. What are some things we can do when we're facilitating these hybrid meetings as an attendee to make them as effective and painless as possible?

 

Episode Highlights: 

  • Sheila states that amongst so many things, first, an effective hybrid meeting begins with proper preparation, planning, and consideration.

  • Engaging a blend of participants can require a little bit of creativity. So think ahead about where you want to engage your participants, says Sheila.

  • We may consider a couple of things during the actual meeting which includes taking a remote-first approach. This means that everyone whether in person or remote, logs into the meeting on their screen to participate and stay in the meeting.

  • Finally, Sheila talks a little bit about after the meeting. Ask for feedback from your participants. What would they like to see different next time?

 

 

3 Key Points:

  1. Hybrid meetings require us to be even more present. So we want to make sure we're paying attention to the experience, perspective, and expertise that’s needed to be at this meeting.

  2. Thinking through what type of tech is going to help you to get to the outcomes of the meeting or the level of participation that you need ahead of time is going to set you up for so much more success.

  3. Sheila suggests making your meeting as interactive as possible, asking questions, allowing people to share using the chat, using polls. More engagement opportunities would make the participants even more engaged.
