Do you ever find yourself saying, “This should’ve been an email,” in your team’s virtual meetings? You’re not alone. We’re all engaging in more virtual events and meeting these days and the “Zoom Fatigue” is real. There are also a lot of great benefits of our virtual lifestyles, i.e., increased diversity and accessibility, less travel, and efficiency. Heather Burright of Skillmasters Market walks us through three easy-to-understand components of winning virtual training and meetings. Are they…

• Relevant?
• Meaningful?
• Fun?

Don’t take those terms at face value, though! Heather digs into what each one means for both those conducting the meeting and attending it. As we discuss shenanigans like team improv and other “forced fun,” ways to increase engagement, we realize it’s not as simple or one-size-fits-all as it sounds!
