Virtual Facilitation Doesn’t Have to Be Difficult… Our Webinar Can Help!
COVID-19 has changed the way network leaders meet and engage with each other. Given the very real need to avoid face-to-face interactions and socially distance, many are turning to virtual facilitation to fill the gap, using software like Zoom, Dropbox, Social Media, and other tools. In this network leadership webinar, our guest Ericka shared concrete advice for creating engaging virtual meetings, presentations and other gatherings. It’s an engaging 1-hour webinar with some truly valuable information and insights to take advantage of in your network leadership work.
Tips & Tricks for Effective Virtual Facilitation.

- The Importance of Small Talk for Online Gatherings.
- Building engaged virtual Communities.
