Coaching Teams
for High Performance
Find out more about the powerful design to become a High Performing Team 
Dear Reader, 

 

Budget restrictions and environmental concerns that motivate us to lower our CO2 footprint are among the main reasons why more and more meetings are being held virtually. But the move from a face-to-face meeting to a virtual session has many logistical complications, and it is not easy to achieve comparable effectiveness in a virtual meeting.

 

What are we learning about how to run effective, exciting and engaging virtual meetings? To find answers to this question, I conducted a "virtual interview" myself, with Ernie Turner, President of LIM LLC, Ruby Palma, LIM Director for the Philippines, Eras Lodhi, with LIM India, Joy Wang, Astra Zeneca's Asia Pacific Talent & Leadership Development Lead, Anna Ordinario, Asia Pacific Clinical Quality and Training Manager, and Choy Kiew Ho, Director of the Program Management & Strategy for AstraZeneca Asia & Emerging Markets R&D. 

 

Enjoy the meeting!
