Virtual Group Training

The major differences are you don’t have to drive while using Xpand for Virtual Group Training, you can be anywhere and everyone while hosting these so there are so many more efficiencies to running virtual meetings. The major cons are you miss the human connection that comes with hosting live training. With covid happening virtual training became more sophisticated and adopted across the board. People came to find it easier sometimes and just as effective. Don’t shy away from this beautiful tool.

• Cameras ON… You want to be able to read the energies and attention levels of you guests
• Use the chat and polls to get them interacting 
• Record and send to those that missed the meeting
• Leverage these meetings to create course/channel/social content that you can repurpose them in Xpand
• Ensure good internet

• Call out people that aren’t participating to make known you are watching. 
• Use visuals: Powerpoints, screen shares, digital whiteboards
