What Participants Learn in our Communicating in a Hybrid World™ Program: 

Communicating in a Hybrid World™  is a 3-week, digital learning experience that teaches hybrid team members how to solve the challenges of hybrid work. Participants learn how to build inclusion by shifting their relationship-building approach; maximize engagement by selecting the right medium for each communication; and how to elevate their virtual presence on calls and video conferences. Through a blend of self-directed learning; peer discussion; and live-online facilitation, practice, and feedback; learners gain the concrete skills they need to communicate inspirationally in a hybrid world.

In this Signature Learning Experience, participants receive the knowledge and tools to:  

  • Understand their own communication habits and the habits of others on their team. 
  • Define personal preferences and boundaries and communicate them effectively to their team. 
  • Intentionally develop their relationships with others, whether working together face-to-face or virtually. 
  • Articulate and reinforce strong team behaviors and communication norms. 
  • Choose the right channel for each communication based on the desired action and engagement.
