Our workplace has certainly changed and one of the most obvious illustrations of this is the prevalence of non-traditional work environments – remote/virtual teams, teleworking arrangements, even collaborating with global partners.

Physical distance can bring unique challenges and make the simplest tasks or communications more difficult.  Managing remote teams effectively is a distinct skill.

This workshop provides specific best practices and tips for how to effectively support remote team members, how to build a sense of camaraderie and maintain high levels of motivation without the luxury of the traditional face to face work environment.

Dana will explore issues including leading effective remote meetings, understanding cultural differences, exploring common teleworking challenges, addressing hybrid teams (where some members are remote and others aren’t), avoiding team miscommunications, and building real relationships within virtual teams.

Presenter: Dana Brownlee (LinkedIn profile); an energetic and innovative corporate trainer, speaker, and workshop facilitator; garnered her critical team leadership and management consulting experience through her years with AT&T Bell Labs, AT&T, IBM Consulting, and EMC Corporation. She possesses an impressive array of credentials including an MBA (Emory University), BIE (Georgia Tech), BS (Spelman College), IBM Business Transformation Consulting Certification, Project Management Professional, and Myers Briggs Type Indicator Qualification.
