PROGRAMME

This workshop is designed for leaders who want to move beyond “checking in” and start driving real performance in a virtual world. We’ll cover how to build deep trust without being in the same room, master the tools of digital collaboration, and keep your team motivated and visible. You’ll walk away with a clear framework for managing results while keeping that essential human connection alive.

09:30 – 10:00 | Registration and Networking Breakfast
Meet fellow attendees and speakers while enjoying breakfast

10:00 – 10:30 | Shifting to a Result-Oriented Mindset
We’ll start by moving away from “hours at a desk” toward a high-trust model that focuses on clear outputs and individual accountability.

10:30 – 11:15 | Mastering the Remote Communication Stack
This session identifies which channels to use for what—from quick Slack pings to deep-dive Zoom strategy sessions—to prevent “Zoom fatigue” while ensuring total clarity.

11:15 – 11:30 | Networking Break

11:30 – 12:15 | Psychological Safety and Virtual Trust
We’ll explore practical ways to build a “one team” culture across time zones, ensuring every member feels heard and included regardless of their location.

12:15 – 12:45 | The 1-on-1 Performance Simulation
You’ll participate in a roleplay exercise focused on delivering constructive feedback and coaching over video, ensuring your message lands effectively without the benefit of in-person body language.

12:45 – 13:00 | Building Your Remote Team Charter
We’ll wrap up by drafting a personalised set of “rules of engagement” for your specific team to ensure everyone is aligned on expectations and boundaries moving forward.
