“We need soft-skills online workshops! Make it fun, light and entertaining!” they said.
As a team of four Conversational Intelligence® coaches, we delivered a series of interactive online workshops for up to 400 people from around the world.
And we needed looootssssss of strong, good coffee.
2 x 6hrs on Sundays and many more late-night hours.
Phew!
The outcome is absolutely gorgeous.
Co-creation was happening in up to 18 breakout rooms at the same time.
Imagine more than 60 people whizzing around on an infinite canvas, a digital whiteboard.
It’s called Miro. And it’s magic!
Hell yes! Online learning was never meant to be a boring presentation.
Online learning engages people and provides them with the space of deep learning, self-reflection and co-creative group work. AND it is fun!
Here is what people experienced:
made friends with strangers and work colleagues from other teams and departments
strengthened their ability to quickly open up, share and engage
visualized their thoughts and emotions using sticky notes, images and emojis to build colourful imageboards
got a chance to speak up in front of a larger crowd and share their results and learnings
Using the magic infinite whiteboard:
participants strengthened their digital workplace literacy by using modern tools
they deepened their learning by processing ideas two ways: writing them down and having a conversation in parallel with people they often never met before
their brain’s and bodies got flooded with oxytocin, which up-regulated their emotions and they left with a feeling of having co-created something meaningful together
people were able to build and embody a new understanding of what digital co-creation and online learning means
together they shared success, had fun and learned about Chemical Cocktails in the brain, Neuroplasticity, Growth Mindset and how to build an Inclusive Team in an online environment
That’s been awesome! I can still feel the energy of the people and also collaborating with my team colleagues and the organizers has been a very rewarding experience!
Whoop whoop!
