Overview of the webinar
This is a hands-on course that provides team leaders and managers with the best practices and tools needed to increase attainment of co-located or remote team's goals by providing a user-friendly model and helpful templates. Participants will learn the essential team fundamentals inherent to high performing teams and apply these strategies to solve their own team challenges. Managers will increase their ability to create virtual team environments that bring more unity and productivity across states, differing cultures, cross functional teams and internationally. Leader will learn to diagnose challenges when teams become "stuck" or are under performing and utilize coaching techniques, assessments and performance management strategies to get performance back on track.
Who should attend?
Managers and leaders who manage or hope to manage both co-located, virtual and/or cross functional teams in the future. Employees from any virtual or cross-functional team that would like to increase their teams productivity and functionality.
Why should you attend?
With even more individuals and teams working remotely or in hybrid situations, it’s important for manager and leaders to find ways to creative cohesive teams that function well despite geographical, cultural and cross functional challenges. Managers need to continue to find ways to motivate and inspire their teams remotely through a variety of changing individual and team dynamics.
In the office location, we can collect a lavish amount of social and subliminal information about our leaders, colleagues and the organization. This makes it easier for managers and teams to maintain clear and synchronous communication. Remotely, we are limited to short Zoom calls, phone and emails, making it more difficult to build trust and rapport, and to create an inclusive team culture.
In order for team leads to create more momentum, harmony, connection and positive energy, managers need to be more thoughtful of how they communicate, enhance team morale and build relationships with their teams remotely. Additionally, it is best practice to consistently create opportunities for team members to socialize and collaborate informally.
Overall, working from home is sustainable in the long term, but it requires managers and employees to make some adjustments.

Manosmita Debnath - Senior Manager: Customer Success at Epsilon CXM
It was an absolute pleasure to get trained from Suzanne. She is the most lively and enthusiastic trainer I have ever come across. She was in our office for Team Management and Handling Skill training. Normally, I am a kind of a person who does not like such trainings though, however, Suzanne turned things the other way round.
I felt so positive attending her sessions. She is super fun to have in your circle. I will be glad if I get a chance to attend another live session of yours. It was an absolute pleasure to get trained from Suzanne.
Amber Asaro - Associate Manager of UX Research and Re-Ops at Red Hat
Suzanne brings humor, inspiration, and enthusiasm into the room. I have seen her do this in informal club meetings, formal corporate discussions, trainings, and just in hallway conversation. Suzanne exudes sincere concern for others. She listens to the needs of employees, observes their skill sets, and inevitably encourages them to be a better version of themselves.
