This week I went live with three other virtual facilitators, @amyclimer, @a_creative_life, and @mrjankeck, to talk about leading great Zoom meetings. The hour-long conversation covered games to play, tools to use, and tech to master. The teachable moment came right away, when the YouTube streaming link we had all promoted to our audiences that morning...crashed! So I found another way to livestream, set up a 302 redirect, and shared the replacement link in the comments of all of our promotional posts...all while we were livestreaming. Balancing the tech and the conversation simultaneously is just like juggling flaming torches (which I can also do as well) - a splash of danger, controlled chaos, fun pizzazz, and boom! We have an interesting spectacle to share with an audience. I know people complain about Zoom fatigue, but conversations like this really amplify my energy. Find me on YouTube to watch the replay over there. (Or type in stellarplatforms.com/vfs-live to see my redirect in action.) #zoomhosting #virtualmeetings #facilitationskills https://www.instagram.com/p/CImGmriB0mR/?igshid=1lj564bq24byo

Helping people lead better Zoom meetings has been a large part of my work this year. It’s interesting, I usually get hired to help with the technology, but a lot of my training is focused on the facilitator’s delivery and performance. Since I started my career in the theatre, I look at virtual meetings as a performer first. Training other trainers how to lead a workshop that keeps people engaged and interactive only requires a bit of technical training; inviting contribution, directing attention, and transitioning between scenes all make a great experience, on stage or on the Zoom grid. #zoommeeting #virtualworkshop #zoomtraining #virtualleadership #zoomhosting #testimonial #virtualfacilitation #zoomhosts #virtualtraining #onlinelearning #zoomworkshop https://www.instagram.com/p/CIOnaQNhU4B/?igshid=n2gl41cmlxqc
