Learning Strategy & Virtual Facilitation

In a Virtual Space Every Minute Counts

You need to command attention, engage your participants, and keep momentum high -- especially in the face of potential distractions. 

Did you know? Industry experts recommend reconnecting with your participants every three to five minutes, whether through a discussion, a poll, a chat question, or a new form of media.

What is a Learning Strategy?

Learning strategies are methods to help individuals learn. A virtual learning strategy takes proven methods and translates them to be effective in virtual or hybrid learning environments. 

What is Virtual Facilitation?

A virtual facilitator is an expert in learning and development strategies that guides participants through a discussion, meeting or decision making process.

This may include the development of training programs, selection of group programs or off-the-shelf content assets or other change management procedures.

Our team of experts will be here to help you define the best next steps so you can elevate your leaders and team members to even better performance or showcase your organization’s status as a Great Place to Work®.

Why is a Virtual Learning Strategy Important?

In recent trends towards remote working and distributed teams it is often understood that team members are supported in their work environments. However, learning strategies may not be in place to support this. 

Careful alignment of your virtual learning strategy to your business objectives and planning can help deliver the learning solutions your teams really need.

Benefits of Working With an External Virtual Facilitator

Our clients have particularly appreciated having an external facilitator without hierarchical ties to their business. This alone can help foster more open and honest communication, without fear of “saying the wrong thing”. Bringing independent perspectives and observations to the discussion can even open conflict conversations to come to a common decision.

In a meeting setting, new and external processes help get everyone working on common ground, and we can be an equalizer for otherwise hierarchical teams. This is the basis for constructive conversations and effective decision making.

"Petra is amazing! She was a tremendous asset to our School in creating our strategic plan over the past four months. She is an experienced facilitator and is skillful at both listening for and to what our needs were and then co-creating a process that drove results. This was even more impressive as all of this was done online, remotely. We found the process, techniques and online tools she employed highly effective. I personally appreciated her collaborative and well-reasoned approach to our pre-meetings and sessions. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with Petra and recommend her highly."
