Many of us are developing “Resting Zoom Face” after facilitating or attending literally hours of back-to-back virtual meetings during the “new normal” of COVID-19 and social distancing. All this collective screen time can nourish collaboration and connectivity – or it can suck the life force of every participant and undermine the very goals bringing us together in the first place. In this webinar, veteran facilitators Suzanne Hawkes and Andrea Reimer walk through a set of principles and practical tips for designing and facilitating virtual meetings and gatherings to be more effective, engaging, equitable, and life-giving.
