Introduction: Jennifer Britton is a coach, author, award winning program designer and most recently a podcaster. Her podcast remote pathways is co-hosted with Michelle Mullins a coach in the US. Jennifer works with groups, teams and organisations in the areas of Leadership, teamwork and business success. Her own success has been borne out of the many books she has authored on Group and Team Coaching. The focus for this podcast centred on her book Effective Virtual Conversations Podcast episode summary: In this episode Jennifer shared her background and her connection with remote working long before the idea of remote working was even popular. She talked about how teams need to connect and how very important this is in the digital space. Jennifer illuminated for us how much of what we experience in the physical space is replicated online and often magnified. There are distinctions working remotely. Context shapes what is needed and how a team might need to adapt. Jennifer is a question mongrel she filled this episode with some tantalising questions about what teams might need to consider if they are to be called a team. The nature of remote is not going away if anything with climate change and invisible immigration it is harder to move around the world and yet our teams are global. Enter Team Coaching Online. Points made through the episode: Working remotely has been an anchor for Jennifer Britton almost throughout her entire career. Worked in humanitarian realm for the UN where the mode of communication with teams in the field was a long -range radio. A few experiences shaped Jennifer's view on teams and helped her wonder about the interplay between experience, the needed pause to reflect and retool The Pause today is as important especially in our VUCA world. Most people are pressurised in so many ways. How can we crate micro moments for teams to reflect and redeploy effectively? Her book Effective Virtual Conversations fuses the different modalities available to coaches to effectively support a team; Facilitation, Training, Coaching and Teaching. Reality of our context shapes what we do & what is accessible What does it take for a team to thrive and leverage that knowing with technology? How do you work across boundaries, often disciplines and cultures to bring people together to serve a common cause? Trust and Connection paramount Foundations for all teams still the same. Go back to work of Katzenback or Richard Hackman to surface what all teams require. The remote pathway for teams means a Team Leader needs to more readily move into a role of influence and coaching. In the remote space a team needs to be proactive. They do not enjoy the same luxury moments teams that occupy the same space do-such as water cooler conversations Instil shared practices and shared agreements so people get comfortable with the medium of online coaching Team Culture becomes even more real in an online setting. Who are we? Relationships are key. Remote does not and should not mean disconnected. Create a team identity. Infuse team practices with short bursts of intense dialogue. Jennifer often starts a team intervention with a team diagnostic. The data helps the team identify the pathway they may need to go down. The team looks at its fundamentals and from the data chose what gets focus. Questions surface about the identity of the team, the team culture, shared agreements and shared norms-much as you would in a physical environment. Tricky moments occur and the team coach uses one of its tenets to know that what is needed shows up and the team is resourceful and whole and will resource a resolution As team coaches we are with our own assumptions and beliefs. We need to have a toolbox to deal with the myriad of situations and contexts in which we find our client teams. Keep it simple is one mantra Jennifer opines Another is be visual. Jennifer shared a team story where she was unable to see the team, but they could see her and with the use of one single visual and two questions she was able to help the team have conversations with each other. Trust what shows up. What is happening is what is needed to happen. Lean back into the basics of team effectiveness. Are you a team or a group? Do you have a shared purpose? how are you interdependent? How is your work measured? How are you operating? Should you be a team or a group? The role of a team coach will be oriented in the direction that best serves the entity a team or a group. Her book one to many illuminates and clarifies these questions . Trust is one of the most important areas we want to put focus on to have meaningful dialogue. Without trust we are engaging in surface type conversations. Trust and trust based relations is a very dynamic area. Trust is behavioural so what are the behaviours we want on this team? What are our expectations of each other to honour the individual and their difference but also to honour the needs of the team. What does trust mean to us across the entire team? What part of the culture is getting activated on this team if trust is an issue? Jennifer closed by speaking to her own podcast. Remote Pathways. In our connected always on world where climate change is asking different questions of us in terms of mobility the idea of remote working is gaining increasing currency.

For those of us that grew up with a rotary telephone glued to the wall and no answering machine, the idea of being connected 24/7 everywhere we go still has a bit of novelty to it. I still sometimes marvel that while I walk my dog or go on errands, I’m basically carrying the world in my pocket. That convenience can lead to complacency, which can compromise our approach to conversations that happen over and through advanced technology. Our question this episode: how can we make sure technology doesn’t interview with real connection?My guest is Jennifer Britton. Jennifer is passionate about working with teams and organizations around leadership, teamwork and performance issues, specializing in remote work, and virtual teams. Author of Effective Virtual Conversations and four other books. She is an award-winning program designer in the areas of coaching and mentoring. Co-host - Remote Pathways podcast.

Introduction: Covid-19 struck like a thunderbolt and has thrown the world upside down. Many are still reeling as we grapple to right side for a new order. All of us have been forced to wake to a new reality, to pause and immediately assume a virtual reality for most of the population. Teams have been beset too. Episode three is an invitation to look at how teams can use this big pause to disrupt our patterns of thinking & working, the use of time and space, real-estate and technology to innovate and to build structures to support social cohesion through eco-systems. Podcast episode summary: I spoke with Sari Van Poelje, Jennifer Britton and Fin Goulding. We spoke about what it means to be virtual, how to adjust for a new “abnormal” and the mindset shifts required to remerge on a yet uncertain other side. All of the speakers spoke about possibility and the opportunity this pause affords us. Many questions were posed and answered in a rich conversation that spoke to some meta concepts and some practical takeaways for teams. The question became how we can let go the old, grieve appropriately and embrace the new. This has ramifications for Leadership, how we live and work and how we connect across boundaries and how we think of work. This pause like many other conversations is reminding people of our humanity and of what is important. Points made through the episode: In answer to the question “how are you feeling” the guests almost equivocally responded positively sharing that in their worlds they have been operating virtually and using agile for years. The physical threat of Covid-19 is for sure scary All have welcomed the time out to pause, reflect and to consider their purpose. The crisis has brought many people together in a knowing like none other Remote does not mean disconnected. Technology allows for us to be connected. Virtual is imperative. Hopefully people can continue to get comfortable in their home lives to rework how they work- we are living a paradigm shift. Covid-19 has asked us to acknowledge our interdependence. Need to remember to bring in the human dimension to our conversations on zoom etc. Sari shared her ideas on bringing Yoga and DJs to punctuate her trainings. Other ways of socially engaging were shared Curiously meeting online has some positive benefits. People are more pointed, judicious with their time and careful to listen. There is a skill to facilitating and convening online. Use the technology creatively and strike a balance between the visual, auditory and full meeting space to breakout rooms. Leaders are not coping well in this transition. An old model of leading is being imposed on a new platform. The Leader as coach is required. We as coaches have to support leaders to lean into this way of working Similarly, we need to support leaders to deal in the emotional realm & to understand the usefulness of emotional expression over technology. People are ready for agile. Much confusion abounds about Agile it is often seen as belonging to the world of tech. Sari explained that it is not a mindset but a way of structuring business. We are experiencing various shifts simultaneously, from the physical boundaries to the virtual unbounded, from the global to local, from hierarchical to the eco-system. Leadership is needed with Agile. Leadership needs to embrace interdependence and accept the accountability for stuff is often deeper in the organisation. Businesses need to invest to reconsider the Leadership imperative, to strategize ,maybe not for the long term but for the immediate term and to learn how to pivot. Leaders need to comfortable being disruptors. Collaboration is a word that is easy to say much less easy to practice. We as coaches have a role to play to help leaders and teams collaborate, thinking differently and accepting trade -offs. The work/home dynamic needs to be re-evaluated and supported. Time and the use of space will be re-imagined. Perhaps things have to be conceived of much more simply and equitably. We have to be able to cope on an individua/family/community level as we share our humanity and our new landscape Conversations around Brexit for example have stopped. How will Europe look when we re-emerge? The panel shared some practical tips to close the podcast. Leverage the tools available to allow relations as well as focus Practice and get practiced having efficient meetings this is a learnt skill Take time to pause, reset and consider what is working and what can be let go Honesty, integrity and a degree of psychological safety will be needed to speak up and voice what is not working Learn new skills online A team is a musical instrument, it needs to be played and tuned. The need for retrospectives is even more pronounced People need to establish new routines -and be allowed to do so Every crisis brings opportunity -use this one to go for new possibility Consider this new reality and ask yourself the question -what can I offer Focus on what is important and how you can contribute to mankind Have the varying and various conversations the path will reveal itself. Be willing to reinvent yourself. Quotable Quote: “There is the past and there is the future we have only two choices, Vanilla or Chocolate- the future, as chocolate holds possibility” Sari Van Poelje “A team is like a musical instrument; it has to be played and tuned” Fin Goulding “rapid experimentation and learning needed right now”Jennifer Britton Resources: the following include the resources I alluded to in this episode.

Introduction: Covid-19 struck like a thunderbolt and has thrown the world upside down. Many are still reeling as we grapple to right side for a new order. All of us have been forced to wake to a new reality, to pause and immediately assume a virtual reality for most of the population. Teams have been beset too. I noticed my immediate reaction was to want to support. I got into a frenetic productivity race with myself to convert my programs to be available online, to support teams think and be virtually minded, to reach out to my many clients to offer help. I was simultaneously feeling the underbelly of anxiety of worry. Would my small business survive? I only stopped when I read a very compelling article in the Chronicle of Higher Education written by Aisha Ahmed, an assistant professor at Toronto University. On reading I exhaled. I realised I too has succumbed to a maladaptive response of delusion and denial to the enormous change I was battling. I stopped my frenetic productivity goals and stepped back. Instead I chose to do something I knew I could and decided to put out a series of podcasts dedicated to teams going through this unimaginable period of change. Podcast episode summary: This introduction episode is my introduction to a special series of podcasts for a limited period to support teams through Covid-19. I intend to interview 18 guests I have already interviewed on the Game of Teams Podcast but this time they will gather in a panel format. I will host 6 conversations to be published over six weeks starting on the 1st of May. I will interview 3 guests to comprise my panel. I intend to follow the schema introduced to me by Aisha in her article. The six episodes will be chunked down into 3 segments. EP1 will speak to our current situation and the challenges teams are facing through Covid-19. I intend to interview Dr Krister Lowe, Dr Melissa Hughes and Alexander Caillet as my guests for this episode. EP2 will speak to the emotional overwhelm & communication issues we as humans have and continue to experience by virtue of Covid-19 and what this means for teams. In this episode I will interview Dan Newby, Dr Paul Lawrence and Sue McDonnell EP3: This episode will discuss the mental models or mindsets teams need to adopt to thrive. I will interview Fin Gould, Dr Sari Van Poelje and Jennifer Britton. EP4: As we shift to accept our new normal what are some of the Leadership challenges this crisis poses and how can adapt or practice for difference? I will interview Dr Ruth Wageman, Dr Simon Western and Connor Brennan EP5 will consider how we begin to embrace our new condition. What does this mean for teams and Leaders? How will business respond? In this episode I will talk to John Baldoni, Richard Boston and John McCusker EP6: Bringing it all together. What is the one team response? How do we embrace our new normal? What is the opportunity exactly and how can teams move forward? Points made through the episode: It is normal to feel so discombobulated. This is a seismic shift. We are moving on the change curve of a magnitude many of us have never experienced. Aisha Ashmad helped me stop and catch myself succumbing to the seduction of productivity as an antidote to denial and delusion. We are going to go through 3 stages which requires of us to 1. Find Security, 2. Find new mental models and 3. Embrace the opportunity for creativity & innovation that this change provides The six panel interviews are my offer to the world vis a vie teams and Covid-19 Resources: the following include the resources I alluded to in this episode. “Why you should ignore all that Coronavirus inspired productivity pressure” Aisha Ahmad, Associate Professor Toronto University -The Chronicle of Higher Education March 27th 2020
