Leading Remote or Virtual Teams - A Quick Course (Udemy.com)

I found this very helpful and straightforward. Please always try to go straight to the point. The facilitator has to have a set of skills, and it's not easy as it seems, right? Leadership is something that needs time to learn and we need to read and listen a lot. Thanks for sharing such valuable knowledge

I recommend this course for the seasoned facilitator and/or novice. As a facilitator returning to the workplace after a career break, this course was a perfect match for me. So many great points regarding team roles and responsibilities, meeting preparation, and documentation templates - agenda, meeting decisions, and action plans included for download.

A very informative and comprehensive discussion on facilitation skills shared is worth applying. I agree that facilitators should clarify the substance of ideas and recognition of team players' opinions. In this case, a sense of belongingness and an individual's worth is given importance for collective shared responsibility.

In a fully remote environment for so much longer than anticipated, it is easy to lose your way and get distracted by your home life. I found this course to be important to help revisit fundamentals and refocus on what my team needs.

There are only two people on my team. But we sorely needed some way to run better meetings. Where action items are planned and followed up on in subsequent meetings. The Agenda file is invaluable for that. We will also be trying out turning on our cameras, and rotating the facilitator/note taker roles to boost engagement.

The first third of the course were very helpful with dealing with remoteness. The main part actually deals with handling meetings and facilitation - elements which I hadn't expected, but will probably come in uselful anyway. If there is a downside - I would have like copies of the screenshots in written format to annotate.

This course was an eye opening for me. I didn't like virtual meeting before because I am old school and I like meetings in person. The communication on the 21st Century has changed and I have to adapt to change. This course was very helpful and now I can practice and be comfortable attending or creating virtual meetings.

Some of the lessons felt like a new concept, but in fact it was just greatly ignored. Because of this course, my mind and perspective is now refreshed in meeting virtually. I would definitely recommend this course. But I do suggest, if possible kindly provide a sample video, with the a virtual team assuming those different roles you just discussed - more like a simulation that we could observe.

I have taken several of Larry's courses now. This one was a micro lesson out of Team Facilitation. It did have good stuff about Virtual Meetings at the beginning - I wish he would have expounded more on the actual use of the technology in a meeting instead of just the facilitation Soft Skills. But still valuable.

I gave this course a 5-Star rating because it is good stuff, and because it is red hot relevant. I always enjoy and greatly benefit from Larry's excellent material, thought, and presentation. He expects you do DO something. Wouldn't that be nice? I highly recommend this course to anyone who is either leading or is a member of a virtual team. I agree with Larry's assertion that understanding the role of the leader/facilitator of virtual team work makes you a better team member/contributor!
