Effective Remote Communication

Course Description

Effective communication is vital to the success of any team. It builds trust, and boosts creativity and problem-solving, thereby increasing productivity and success.

And communicating with and leading others is already hard enough when they are down the hall or in the same building. When you add in the challenges of a virtual environment, it gets harder and more stressful to stay connected, communicate effectively and provide the support your staff expects and needs.

Since the day-to-day incidental (and accidental) interactions that occur when we all work in the same location are scarcer or non-existent as a remote leader, what can you do?

In this insightful webinar, best-selling author and Master Trainer, Guy Harris, and Wayne Turmel, co-founder of the Remote Leadership Institute, join together to show you how using DISC can profoundly impact your remote team, increasing communication and trust, as well as collaboration and productivity.

The DISC model is truly a map to understanding human behavior. And when you know how to use it, you can tailor your communication so that you see other peoples’ behaviors through the filter of their needs – and this drastically increases your ability to effectively connect and communicate with others.

You’ll learn the different DISC assessment results and how to apply them to each member of your remote team. You’ll gain insights into each communication style, and how you can adjust your approach in order to more effectively communicate and connect with others.

You’ll also learn:

• How to understand the unique challenges of communicating on remote teams.
• The leader’s role in effectively establish team dynamics, and how to overcome your team’s individual preferences.
• Four workstyles that impact team dynamics.
• Tips for leveraging workstyles to enhance team communication.
• How technology supports -- or gets in the way -- of communicating effectively.

Whether you’re new to leading remotely or a seasoned leader of a remote team, the challenges are the same – and can destroy your team’s success. Join us to learn the communication skills to help you manage virtual employees and teams with ease and success.
