Leading Virtual Teams Webinar

Overview

For many of us working from home was a privilege assigned to the select few.

Suddenly being thrust into a new way of working can feel daunting, there’s managing the expectations of your manager, team and those you share a home with.

Juggling these commitments and along with your workload can seem a mammoth task, there is the fear that if you step away for just one moment someone will think you’re not ‘pulling your weight’!

You feel that you must justify every second of your day. Cohabiters may not appreciate that you are ‘at work’ especially if you have young children or are a carer for someone else.

This webinar is designed to help you manage these expectations and the pulls on your time and resource. To plan your day and time effectively so you can maintain productivity and still be able to support your family and work colleagues.
