Hello 2021! Here are the top posts from the first quarter:
In-Person events are back… Sort of
We had our first live Corporate Storytelling Workshop since COVID restrictions hit last year. Sort of. It was a hybrid event with some people there in person and some attending virtually. It was good but not as great as all-live or all-virtual events. Still, there were three big takeaways:
There is an appetite for live events – it’s just a great experience with tons of peer interaction and stickier skill development.
While the hybrid approach may not be optimal, it’s a solid alternative for organizations that can’t get all their people in the room.
I really missed interacting directly with a group.
Here are five posts on observations and lessons learned on leading a hybrid event:
