The team meeting will take on even greater importance as we continue to social distance. Therefore this is the ideal opportunity, when all your team are gathered together, to deliver a message which is aligned to your aims and objectives.
Whether it's a virtual event or a meeting up to 30 participants organised in accordance with social distancing guidelines, an external speaker is ideally placed to distribute this message by using their own story to place the unique challenges and opportunities you face into context and provide your team with the shared experience to take this forward. Whether you’re looking to build a team culture for the new working environment, discover new opportunities, motivate and inspire to reach new heights, or simply deliver their expert opinion within your marketplace, an external speaker will help you achieve this.
How to Book an External Speaker for a Team Meeting or Workshop
The starting point for any team meeting right now is for the leader to demonstrate their vulnerability and be open with their teams about the last 6 months. This has been a shared experience, but the team will look to their leader for permission to air their thoughts, concerns and reservations about the period ahead.
By doing this, the meeting creates a safe space to address those concerns and enable the team to bond, support one another and then to understand they all need to push forward. This is one reason why booking an external speaker for team meetings to share their stories on adversity or change have been especially popular over the last 6 months, as they open up the floor to questions and provide suggestions to help teams come together.
There is an acceptance that no one truly has all the answers at this moment in time. But your external speaker will provide the platform to pose questions, suggest ideas, use their experience, and provide theories to forge debate.
The beauty of small meetings is how the audience becomes far more involved with the speaker. Not only can the speaker see the impact of their words, but the questions which flow from the audience generate answers which stimulate discussion points.
The content is important and we will work with you to understand what it is your looking to achieve and therefore be in the best position to recommend which external speaker you should book for your team meeting or workshop.
