Why traditional leadership skills aren't cutting it in a hybrid world, and what TD pros can do about it
Leading an effective hybrid remote team takes special skills, which many leaders simply don’t have. This interactive workshop is designed for learning and development professionals who want to play an active role in bolstering their leaders’ effectiveness in this new world of work through training, coaching and sharing lessons learned.
Nancy helps distributed teams work more effectively by helping leaders and members alike to find new ways to build trust, cultivate healthy relationships and collaborate more successfully across time, cultures and distances. A renowned expert in the fields of virtual/hybrid leadership, remote collaboration and navigating cross-cultural differences, she is the author of Leading Effective Virtual Teams published by CRC Press, and is a frequent contributor to articles, blogs, white papers and newsletters, including her own online newsletter, Communique.

As a facilitator, trainer, coach and presenter, Nancy helps organizations answer such questions as:
- How can we create a level playing field across our virtual and hybrid teams?
- How can distributed teams cultivate trust and social relationships when the windows of opportunity for real-time conversations are almost non-existent?
- In what areas are agreed-upon operating norms most essential for our team?
- What skills, behaviors and attributes are essential if we want our virtual team members and leaders to collaborate more effectively?
- How can our team members make the best use of asynchronous (any time) and synchronous (same-time) communications methods to achieve shared goals more easily and consistently?
- How can we cross-pollinate knowledge and share lessons learned more reliably?
- What can we do to take advantage of cross-cultural and timezone differences to produce better outcomes?
As an active member of the International Association of Facilitators, Boston Facilitators Roundtable and the Association for Talent Development, Nancy is a frequent trainer, consultant, coach and presenter for organizations interested in effective virtual team leadership, better virtual meetings, more effective remote learning programs, cultivating and maintaining a vibrant team culture, and the creation of meaningful team norms that support shared performance and learning goals.
