My free video training on How to Make Virtual Engagement Easy can be viewed right here: weand.me/tools/

I will absolutely use Connection before Content. BTW - it’s so great how you credit your sources. 👊🏻

Thanks, mate! Attribution is important to me. Even though a good idea does not care who it belongs to, crediting people for their work is a small act of kindness.

I believe the use of changing up my profile picture to one of the connection card images or questions has sparked an interest in others when sharing meeting space. I will continue to weave these examples into all virtual interactions because of personal mission to change up the spoon feeding of boring meeting menus - ARGH life is tooooo short! PSA - Chad keep the ‘have an awesome day’ it’s a worthy signature🎉

Ha!! Thanks for the PSA :-) Did you know we turned the cards into virtual background templates which you can find right here about halfway down the page I believe: weand.me/free-tools-and-resources-from-we-and-me

BTW 'the unofficial start' is a brilliant idea, one I've been using for months now.

Thanks, Joanna! Glad these were useful for you!

I will apply the closing statement idea in my next huddle, as well as the image cards to engage them from the start. Thanks!

Love it! LaKeisha. Thanks so much for taking the time to share. Here is a video with a series of closing exercises too! kzread.info/dash/bejne/nYZ_2tWvirnQmKQ.html

I always enjoy the unofficial start and have used these in some of my presentations and have been a great way to get the meeting started and set the intention of the meeting.

Thanks, Isaac. Good to meet properly the other day.

I will certainly use these ideas for conducting our next senior management meeting. I love the idea of keeping the pulse of the participants via a likert scale.

It's a fantastically easy way to reset attention and bring the group back. I used this method just last night with leaders at the University of Washington in a way to help personalize the learning and discussion that followed. For example, I asked them on a scale of 1 to 10, how tactical/practical (1) or high level/inspirational (10) would you like our conversation to be at. This gently guided us toward the "right" conversation for them at that time. Hope another example is helpful, Taisha. Welcome to the channel!

I am a teacher and loved those activities. Thanks!

That's a tall compliment because as a teacher you've seen LOTS of activities. And mostly not great ones probably...

I am enjoying every bit of your videos. Love it. Please keep doing it and sharing things with people and your viewers. Thank you.

Sharing this videos with team members as a way of "delegating engagement" is a wonderful strategy in and of itself. "Hey Mark, can you watch this and pick one of this ideas to wrap up our meeting on Monday?" Boom 👍👍

Chad, your videos are so helpful! I really enjoy listening to you speak

I will use this in my upcoming class that I will be teaching

I believe meetings can be engaging, meaningful and powerful to drive change in individuals. Great activities Chad. When you drew the letter in the air, it actually got me thinking.... can something like drawing in the air (maybe items or letters) be turned into some sort of activity or game to make meetings more engaging..... I'll keep playing around with it and see if something comes up. Or maybe you'll think of something!.... Thanks Chad! Have a great week!

100% we'll be testing out things like this in our upcoming 6-week workshop series called Connectors Lab actually! It's not a free offering, but details here if that might be a fit: weandme.typeform.com/to/rz8VbwU7

I will apply the simple format you gave in my zoom meetings. I’m new to zoom! I rode horses in the woods during shutdown.
