FACILITATING HYBRID COLLABS

With Curv e

10AM – 4PM | Weds, 2 November

Register Your Place Here

“Where and how we facilitate workshops is changing. Because we want to avert the climate emergency. Because right now the cost of transporting entire teams to be co-located is sky-rocketing. Because our organisations have shifted to support remote and hybrid ways of working.

It’s time to find ways to use the technology we have and learn the skills to collaborate brilliantly online.

Our Remote Workshop Workshop will introduce you to multiple digital environments and teach you how to apply creativity and design thinking tools in a virtual space. We’ll also show you how to create and maintain energy and focus, along with techniques for managing challenging participants, which takes a markedly different form, to when you facilitate in person.

The workshop itself will be remote so you will get the chance to experience a remote workshop as a participant and then reflect on it as a facilitator.”

Session One runs on May 5th from 10.00am – 12.00pm

Collaboration is business critical; successful collaboration leads to better quality, more original outputs, improved productivity and people enjoying their work. But just when we need it most, collaboration has taken a real hit. The trust and connection on which it depends doesn’t come as naturally when we’re on video calls all day or having to navigate a hybrid format. Now that hybrid working is here to stay, companies need to find new and effective ways to collaborate.

You’ll come away with:

– An understanding of how hybrid collaboration works

– A model for creating and facilitating collaborations that support your specific goals

– An understanding of how to make the technology work for you rather than getting in your way

– Exercises, tools and techniques to improve your team’s productivity and performance

– The skills to optimise hybrid collaboration by encouraging and managing behaviours

– Curve’s Collaboration Canvas to help you design your ways of working

With Aly Rahimtoola

9:30-10AM | Thursday 27 May | Uncommon Instagram Live

Session Overview

We will start with sharing data and findings on how COVID-19 has shaped Consumer Wellness and what we can expect – what we can expect the new “normal” to be.

Linking this, Aly will speak a little about the highs and lows of his journey (which is not complete) and some of the tricks that he has adopted to manage the journey. A Q&A will then follow.

About Aly

Herbal Essentials founder Aly Rahimtoola is a global citizen with the perspective needed to lead a consumer goods company beyond its national borders. Aly was born in Pakistan and educated at Westminster School in London before graduating from Brown University in the United States.

Herbal Essentials offers its customers affordable, clean, cruelty-free products that are made in France with minimum 90% natural origin content.

MASTER YOUR BREATH, MASTER YOUR LIFE

With Lucy Puttergill

6-6:30PM | Friday 28 May | Uncommon Instagram Live

Session Overview

Breathing is the only way that we can consciously control our autonomic nervous system, it has the power to calm us down, wake us up, pull us out of a funk, help us sleep better, feel better, manage emotion better and generally get better at this old thing called life. In this session, Lucy will give you a brief introduction into the magic of breathing properly but rather than just stick with the science, you’ll also dive into a few breath practices which you can use to give yourself an energy boost, help you sleep at night and help you get centred before that big pitch at work. The secret is all in the nose.

About Lucy

Lucy spent close to 10 years working in sales on the trading floor at two US investment banks but made the difficult decision back in 2020 to take a leap into the unknown and start over again which she wrote (and embarrassingly went viral) about here. Having secretly struggled with the pressures of juggling corporate life with a drive to find purpose, she spent a lot of time on her commutes diving into the world of self development, eastern philosophy and psychology in an effort to better manage her mind & find some sense of purpose. This journey led her to qualify as a yoga teacher back in 2019 whilst she was still working in finance and then subsequently as a Reiki practitioner, Breathwork facilitator, Ayurvedic consultant & coach. She is now working as a transformational coach, helping people transform their thinking, and in turn their lives, through deep guided self-reflection blended with bodywork, yoga & breath.
