Leading Effective Virtual Meetings

Fundamental skills for people new to the virtual environment

Running effective and efficient meetings is challenging enough when everyone's in the same physical space. Running virtual and hybrid meetings presents greater challenges. Learning the virtual platform is the easy part. The difficult part is engaging meeting participants and keeping their attention so that business gets done.

Turpin helps participants successfully prepare for, navigate, and run virtual meetings. We help them understand how to use virtual tools and videos effectively to engage their audience. Participants also learn how to set the context and ensure everyone involved understands what’s to be accomplished and why.

All Turpin Workshops are highly customized to your organization's and employees' specific goals
and challenges and can be delivered on-site or virtually.

Additional Post-Workshop Skill-Reinforcement Option

In addition to the skill-reinforcement resources included in eCoach, consider this option:

Manager Support Program: Managers play a critical role in helping employees apply what they learn in class to the situations they face outside of it. To help managers support the learning, and when appropriate to do so, we provide guidance for setting expectations prior to the workshop and for providing support after.

Communication Training Yields Business Results

We believe that business communication training must focus on business results: making work easier, employees more successful, workplaces more cooperative, and goals more attainable.

Getting Business Done and Growing Leadership Capability: Everything we do is designed to help people get business done and grow their capabilities. While a particular workshop may focus on a specific business goal—closing a deal, making a decision, learning something new, or gaining alignment—every workshop is designed to help the participants be more comfortable, effective, and confident communicators. When employees communicate more effectively, leadership capability increases and careers advance. This brings positive results to your team and company.
