Transform your online meetings
Learn to facilitate virtual meetings that create change outside the meeting room, through this 3 week group programme
Is your team tired of average online meetings?
❌ Low engagement.
👎 One or two people dominating.
😨Stressful technology nightmares.
🙄 Challenges reading the room.
Sadly, all of that is quite normal.
Many of us have been thrown in the deep end (here's looking at you COVID!) with little training or support.
Although you've figured out the basics on your own, you're wondering if there's a better way...
Become confident online facilitators.
With the Vibrant Virtual Meetings programme, your team will learn to love online meetings, workshops and events.
Because let's face it - online collaboration is here to stay.
And there are huge benefits if you can harness its full potential:
- Reduced carbon emissions (and lower meeting costs)
- A safe environment that can enable greater participation (when used well!)
- More inclusive decision-making and action (if you know how).
What's your 'risk of ignoring'?
What the programme involves
Experiential virtual workshops
You'll learn by experiencing what a great virtual gathering looks like and feels like. You'll see "under the hood" as I facilitate.
Practicalities
Build connections and learn how to make the most of the tools available in your online meeting platform.
Principles
Explore three guiding principles for bringing the best out of people in virtual meetings, based on neuroscience, my own experiences and what I've learned from te ao Māori.
Preparation
Learn and apply a 5 part facilitation framework so you know how to be well prepared for any virtual gathering.
Plus everything you need to actually apply what you've learned
Before
Together we arrange the logistics:
- arranging times and participants
- customising the programme to your people's needs
- priming people about what to expect.
During
After each workshop, I set everybody a small optional challenge to stretch their learning.
After
Each participant receives a bundle of resources to embed the lessons from the workshops, including:
- A summary pdf after each workshop.
- A copy of the Vibrant Virtual Meetings e-book
- The Five Ps of Facilitation Template
- A Virtual Meetings Checklist
- Virtual Meetings Methods Toolkit
- Early access to other resources as these are created.

But is this right for your team?
Yes, it is for you if:
✅ Your team regularly facilitates virtually with the communities you serve
✅ Cultural and emotional safety is critical to your work
✅ Your virtual meetings often have low engagement
✅ Nobody has ever showed your team how to master the basics of virtual meetings
✅ Your team keeps relying on one or two people to sort the tech (even though it's not in their job description).
No, it won't be right for you if:
❌ Your team has mastered the basics of virtual meetings already
❌ You're frequently using online whiteboard tools
❌ You're looking for an "advanced" course.
