Tim consults to leaders and organizations on how to use Zoom effectively and recently launched a new course: Leading Effective Zoom Events. In this conversation, Tim and I overview some of the common mistakes of online events, how online can produce even better results than in-person, and ways to engage people quickly. Plus, we review some of the key technology that will support your organization’s outreach efforts. Key Points It’s often a mistake to assume that you’ll be able to lead online events with the same planning and design for in-person events. Opening a meeting early and using the five-minute rule to begin with icebreakers, breakouts, polls, or reactions will help engage people in the event quickly. For events with many people or higher visibility for your organization, have a dedicated technology co-pilot so that hosts and speakers can stay focused on being present. Virtual lounges (with a dedicated host), spotlight and multi-spotlight, practice sessions, and preassigned breakouts can all help the technology disappear and the human connections to take center stage. Some organizations are discovering they are more successful with online events than past in-person ones. Many have had such a positive experience that they plan to continue leveraging virtual events after the pandemic.

“Inspiration connects us to purpose, while it’s opposite, desperation, happens when we are disconnected from purpose.” Tim Stringer is a veteran of the technology industry, a professional coach and a recognized productivity expert. He has an degree in Engineering and has worked as a software engineer, development manager and project manager. Rather than looking externally for great examples of leadership, Tim Stringer advocates looking within to find your unique talents, skills, intentions, motivations and initiative. An integral part of this is to try new things, explore your passions and find your unique purpose to determine how you can use your gifts and benefit both yourself and others. “Many organizations don’t really have a clear sense of purpose. If there is a clear sense of purpose, people will be naturally drawn to work there.” In our modern age we have access to a wealth of technology. In theory this should be making life much easier for us humans, allowing us to focus on the things we love best while computers perform all the tedious tasks. The reality is that technology has earned a bad rap and is too often seen as a source of stress rather than a trusted sidekick. “If there is a company where there is a lack of community and partnership, one of the best places to look is to ask why does this organization exist.” Tim founded Technically Simple in 2003 and works with individuals and organizations to become productive and to make effective use of technology. Technically Simple's mission is simple: to help people and organizations produce powerful results in their lives and businesses while making effective use of technology. “Treat your employees with the same dignity that you treat your clients” Tim advocates a few simple tactics to start releasing your inner leader: 1. Create space in your life to contemplate and find your inner leader 2. Invite connections with people who are 3. Let go of things that are not adding value 4. Use your imagination to picture what things could look like “Inspired Leadership is being connected to a strong sense of Spirit or Purpose, whereas the opposite of that is Desperation, which is disconnected to Spirit” Drawing upon his professional coaching training, Tim helps individuals and organizations reconnect with the big picture of their lives and businesses. With this foundation in place he provides consulting and training services to help them produce inspired results. This includes one-on-one coaching and consulting, workflow and processes analysis, technology consulting and software training, both in person and remotely through the Internet. “Some leaders are spending a lot of time in the Engine Room rather than up on the Bridge” Links: Tim Stringer on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/timstringer/ Tim Stringer on Twitter https://twitter.com/timstringer Tim Stringer on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ramatim Tim Stringer’s Email tim@technicallysimple.com Tim Stringer at Technically Simple https://technicallysimple.com Tim at Explore OmniFocus https://learnomnifocus.com OmniFocus https://www.omnigroup.com/omnifocus Tim Stringer at Lear Daylite http://learndaylite.com Daylite CRM https://www.marketcircle.com/mac-crm?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=CRM&utm_term=Daylite%20CRM&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIj9Kfx6y92gIVwrjACh19dgwTEAAYASAAEgKVI_D_BwE Reflektive www.reflektive.com Terry at Ubiquity www.ubiquity.coach Next Week’s Show: Know The Truth with Gordana Biernat, Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 Teacher

Key Points In general, keep the planning and working tasks separate. By planning first, it’s much easier to be productive when you go into worker mode. Your task management system should collect your whens, your whats, and your ideas. Make your task management system a sacred space. Use due dates only when there is a consequence for not finishing something by that date. Focus on only doing a few important tasks first, then move on to the rest of the tasks. A morning and evening review will help you stay on top of your system. Common mistakes: Putting too much into your task management system, overusing due dates, and tasks that aren’t immediately actionable.
