Being There When You Can’t Be There: Supporting Your Team in a Virtual World

Presented by: Ana Kay Yaghoubian, Director, Education Programs, Adagio Health & Katie Keane, Education Manager, Adagio Health

Synopsis: Since the COVID-19 pandemic our connections with our students, stakeholders, and each other have fundamentally changed. The management team from Adagio Health’s Education Department will share their experience of managing a mid-sized team throughout the pandemic and how they shifted from in-person to virtual operations. We hope you can learn from our experiences of what’s worked and what hasn’t. Let us help you to figure out how to leverage the power of your team and make a plan to shape your management style as you move forward.

Learning Goals:

  • Assess how the nature of virtual teamwork has changed the dynamics of individual interaction
  • Identify and share factors that have changed in group communication
  • Identify how boundaries between home and work have changed
  • Increase awareness of tools for use with virtual group communication
  • Walk away with a plan including next steps for how to improve group dynamics of communication and how to take care of your team
