Do’s And Don’ts Of Virtual Meetings

[@BruceAHayes]

Fantastic ideas again. Someday I hope to get my meeting attendees as engaged as I am when I watch you work.

[@chad.littlefield]

You can do it! Always good to see you here in the comments, Bruce! Keep rocking it. - Chad

[@chad.littlefield]

Hey Bruce, thanks so much for commenting! I love that KZbin allows us to be in dialogue as opposed to a purely one-way interaction! As a small thanks for connecting, here is a free sample of a new prototype “fill in the blank” style question deck we are currently working on: weand.me/2020/10/29/what-are-some-really-good-icebreaker-questions/ Happy connecting! Looking forward to seeing you in the comments section of other episodes 😊

[@focusarete]

Thank you for your sharing!

[@chad.littlefield]

Thank YOU for watching and commenting. These videos are empty with people to love, enjoy and use them!

[@lisaelliot415]

Always great tips. I shared this with my colleague Ruth who is facilitating virtual sessions for women business owners instead of in person sessions now.

Most zoom/online meetings bore me to tears and I abhor the 'I'm just waiting a few minutes for everyone to jump on' line. For several years I have wished that sentence and action could be erased from every meeting. I am punctual and most times, early. Having some connection time before the official start of the meeting actually helps attendees become 'in tune' with timeliness especially if there are some nuggets that they have fear of missing out on. I believe that changing how we do online meetings is critical at this juncture in time. Train for thumbs up meetings before we 'condition' the world for boring, thumbs down meetings. I'm sharing this video with my Network Marketing upline, including several 7 figure earners who can share the video with their teams. Thank you for the 7 tips. Everyone of them hits the mark.

[@suchetasingh7237]

I am an HR and I have been watching ur content from last week and u r doing a great job 👏👍

[@chad.littlefield]

Thanks, Sucheta! Heaps and heaps of content on here. Glad to be connecting with you via video like this 👍👍 Let me know if you ever have questions after watching a video. I try to be really intentional about sharing a response that would allow others to benefit from your question(s) as well.

[@jessicakaz2117]

Love all of this- seems like such a no-brain to bring visuals to the teaching and the mood, but we don't do it often enough. I especially like the idea of being intentional with the first and last experiences of the meeting. Thanks very much!!!

[@chad.littlefield]

Sometimes the simplest things can have the most impact. If you liked the concept of what to put at the beginning and end, you might enjoying hearing my framing of the other 3 ingredients that go in the middle, Jessica: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXKtZX-Co7SIkM0 Thanks for reaching out and taking the time to share!

[@silvioberlfein5194]

Chad. This is soooo good and helpful. Love bringing the live objects you use the SURPRISE effect here..I even think if you send them to break out rooms or if they are watching a screen share, when they come back you can surprise them with a hat, the nose, a visual something that will make them smile.. This is SO WELL PRESENTED.. Clean, to the point (you dont make us waste time).. will pass on to many friends.

[@chad.littlefield]

Thanks friend! The only "fluff" I like is the sweet, marshmallowy kind. So once the content/purpose is set, I like to jump to it! Glad you are enjoying. Nice to continue seeing you in cyberspace.

[@chad.littlefield]

By the way Silvio, thanks so much for commenting! I love that KZbin allows us to be in dialogue as opposed to a purely one-way interaction!

[@Kukisz3]

Finally a video that has real content. Good job Chad, thanks for that!

[@chad.littlefield]

Ha! YES! The only type of fluff I like is marsh-mellowy and goes on a sandwich. Glad you found value in the video. I share daily/weekly videos on the channel and I try to only create content I would be interested in watching. Every video title is an exact question that somebody has asked verbatim. And I try to give the answer justice always in less than 5-12 minutes.

[@MsNeko12345]

Thanks Chad, Love, Love, Love Weand.me. Shared with my education director and her team!

[@jenniferhanni198]

We LOVE your weekly videos. I share with my team of former school administrators who now work directly with 115 districts in Kansas on school improvement. We use many of your ideas and activities in weekly meetings with leaders and encourage them to share with their own staffs. THANK YOU!

Chad you NEVER disappoint. I was in a rut with my trainings and I thought to myself "Who always comes through?" You came to mind!

After raving about your videos last week to colleagues, i'm sharing this with them as well. Thank you for the inspiration you and your company have provided for me during this pandemic. I'm enjoying the book and sad that it's quickly coming to a close for me. I use the cards all the time, and would love to see the new deck that your team has been working on. Thank You!

[@steveandrews162]

Of all of the videos I have ever seen on youtube to try to learn about online meetings, this video has been a combination of the most helpful and the most engaging, and the most fun to watch. Great job!

[@chad.littlefield]

Steve, thanks so much for the kind words. I actually have been sharing daily tutorials on the channel as an effort to make our pixelated world more meaningful and more engaging. Glad you enjoyed and a double thanks for connecting here in the comments. I try to be deliberate about replying to questions in the comments, so feel free to ask away in future videos! - Chad

[@darlaaguilar]

Love all these awesome ideas and thank you for all the amazing resources.....currently designing a virtual retreat weekend for families that have kids with childhood cancer....how can we make this AWESOME?

This is such a great video! One of the best how-to's for virtual meetings I've seen - will be sharing and hope the next meeting I attend reflects your suggestions.

[@chad.littlefield]

Thanks, Sara! You rock. That is a tall compliment. Thanks for commenting!

[@amycooper543]

Thanks Chad! This was super helpful, as we continue to plan events and opportunities for our students to connect online. So far, I have shared it with my planning team for an event we are hosting on 11/13.

[@BruceAHayes]

I just had to share this with someone who attends some meetings where a few have their preset agenda in mind. I think if they work on connection first they might be more likely to focus on the organization rather than their personal desires.

Hey Chad! What equipment are you using for creating these videos? Also, what equipment would you recommend for online meetings? I'm thinking of more accuracy of both image and sound. Thanks for the videos!

[@chad.littlefield]

Hey there, thanks for the question. Conveniently, this video is a run through of my setup: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZOWfqqegpaeiLs I need to do an updated version of this too.

Found those on Amazon actually. They are actual printed emojis. Photobooth props I think actually. - Chad

[@haneshoney75]

I've extracted some of your suggestions and will be using in a webinar on Dec. Breathe, Break and Resist: New Realities in the World of Informatics sponsored by HIMMS - IT healthcare folks. Description: How are you managing stress and prioritizing your mental health due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic? More than ever before, the global workforce has become “digital” post COVID-19. This live event will focus on the new abnormal reality of living in the informatics/digital world and beyond as we all seek to prioritize the mental health of ourselves and those around us. Together, we will learn how to increase the awareness of mental health needs and priorities, discuss strategies for improving our “digital” work-life balance and share how to create a digital divide assessment for employees.
