Great tips from Harvard Business Review and Scriberian for a fab virtual meeting.

People are more likely to behave badly during virtual meetings. Neuroscientists call it the "online disinhibition effect". Find out how you can overcome it.

Diversity and Inclusion

Studies show that having greater diversity in a team can lead to better outcomes. However, we need leadership for inclusion based on trust to bring the range of unique perspectives.

Leadership

Most leaders are thinking about the 'new normal' post Covid-19. It is also time to think about HOW we make change happen, including about "resistance to change". 

Leading change is all about being as much as about doing.

Innovation

There have been so many innovations put into place as part of the Covid-19 response. We need to capture the learning and build on them, so we can keep innovating into the future.

A great model for making sense of practices we started and stopped during Covid-19.  

Communication

There was a great response to Helen's tweet about metaphors used during Covid-19. The table posted is from The Workshop, who offer brilliant, free, values-driven advice on communicating about/during the pandemic.

Leigh shared that as a comms pro a bugbear is when people say their target audience is 'everyone'. When it comes to networks small and powerful is better than big and weak.

We know that in a crisis clear, consistent communication is crucial. How to maintain that when a situation is constantly evolving?

Helen shared a graphic that gave her a laugh this week!
