Course Overview:

Anyone who manages or leads people in  a remote or virtual environment would benefit from the training provided by this Managing a Virtual Team training course materials. The course would suit people managing teams that work from home, on the road, at various locations or any other situation where the team is not based in the same place from day to day.

Course Contents:

Managing Virtual Teams has become a hot topic over the last few years. People are now much more likely to work from home, from their car, at alternative locations, or even on the other side of the world, which means managers might rarely see them.

Consequently, managers that are asked to lead these virtual teams not only face the usual leadership dilemmas, they also have to be able to adapt to these challenges in an environment where the rules have changed.

Managing virtual teams requires a different approach. It means developing new skills, communication methodologies and techniques to get the best out of teams and improve organisational and personal performance.

Perhaps you’ve always had virtual teams and you want to make your managers more effective. Or you want to refocus existing teams by developing your management team skills. Whatever your need, Trainer Bubble provides you with a comprehensive training course on managing a virtual team that will make your life easy.

Why is taking a virtual team training course a good idea?

Well, just imagine if you were better able to:

Inspire your virtual teams, bringing out the best in each and every individual.
Overcome the barriers and isolation that working remotely can cause.
Develop a virtual team that works collaboratively and with the interests of the organisation at heart.
Increase their teams performance through clear goal setting and communication.
Improve the effective use of technology within the organisation.
Develop trusting relationships that ensure the team works towards common goals.
Keep their teams happy and reduce staff turnaround.

Ultimately this training allows you to nurture a virtual team that is more motivated, inspired and productive. You need to know that your managers can effectively lead remote workers and now you have the training to do it.

This training will provide you with the tools and techniques to overcome the challenges of a virtual manager. They will be provided with practical tips to help you lead effectively, communicate successfully and consequently increase the performance of your virtual or remote team.

This workshop/course introduces people (of any industry or position) to Emotional Intelligence (EI).
We ask you to complete a short EI self-assessment questionnaire to take away and use for your personal development.
We then introduce the ingredients of EI and chat about why they are essential, what they aim to achieve, and why they are critical to “clean” communication across the whole organisation.
We ask you to consider our Moccasin Approach® and our EI Tree® and why they are tools for the future success of internal and external communication.
We link EI to organisational culture and the inherent responsibility we all have to make our workplace culture the type that retains our people, attracts great people to join our organisation, and is a culture that we are proud to talk about because it is truly lived (not just a flag-waving exercise). 
We look at Empathy, how it works, why it is different from sympathy, and how we must all use it in our daily communication with others.
We discuss how personal styles and preferences (even bias) are critical to everyday communication.
We examine the word trust and discuss its meaning, how we can gain and maintain it, and why consistency is one of our favourite words regarding the element of trust.
We ask you to consider our thinking around 'Change Champions' and Best Practice Managers' to help create high-performing teams and cross-team collaboration and support. 



LENGTH - For more information about duration, please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? 
Everyone you employ, including your associate or external consultants.
Why? 
Every person needs to understand how EI works, what it takes to get it right, why it is essential and how it helps anyone develop new, better and more meaningful relationships.
The ultimate goal of EI is to create the best possible working relationships and Psychological Safety so that we can communicate "cleanly" without worrying about getting in trouble for sharing our thoughts and opinions.
By the way, EI is just as powerful at home, socially, and with our children. We can add Socratic questions to the mix to help us impact others' thinking.

Content
'Belief creates reality' and 'Creating reality out of possibility.'
The EI Tree®
Values, behaviours, ES2, and creating saboteurs!
How our Moccasin Approach® thinking helps us understand the world of others and cater for differences.
Our ARCHWAY Approach® thinking around Responsibility - Accountability – Duty of Care.
EI Self-assessment - The ingredients of EI.
The empathy stool and the types of empathy.
EI and how it helps 'Change Champions' and 'BPM’s'
Reflections, thoughts, findings and goals (individual and team).
Workshop delivery and venue
This Workshop is usually one day in duration but can be a two-day event with group and individual case study work to allow discussions about the various thoughts we all have about EI.
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 

Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 

When you purchase these tinctures, you're contributing to the preservation of indigenous traditions as the Medicine Woman who makes them donates 50% of the proceeds to the Shipibo community in Iquitos, the true guardians of these medicines. 

The medicine women who makes them, fasts for 2 days before preparing them to ensure there is no external energy influencing the tinctures. The tinctures are also buried with the plant they are made from for 2 weeks to help strengthen their essence. 

Instructions:
1. Dosage & Absorption
Empty Stomach for Optimal Absorption: Take your tincture on an empty stomach, ideally at least 30 minutes before eating or 2 hours after your last meal. This enhances absorption and allows the plant’s energy to work more directly.
Sublingual Method (Under the Tongue): Place the recommended number of drops directly under your tongue and hold them there for about 1-2 minutes before swallowing. This method allows the plant’s essence to enter your bloodstream more quickly and efficiently.
Swallowing & Following with Water: If needed, you can follow with a sip of water or herbal tea, but avoid strong flavours that might interfere with the plant’s subtle energy.
2. Dietary Considerations
Avoid heavy, overly processed, or highly stimulating foods (e.g., caffeine, sugar, alcohol, or spicy foods) before and after taking the tincture, as they may interfere with the plant’s effects.
Simple, grounding meals such as lightly cooked vegetables, whole grains, and herbal teas, support a clearer connection to the plant.
If fasting or eating lightly while working with the tincture, listen to your body’s signals and adjust as needed.
3. Setting an Intention
Focused Approach: Working with one plant tincture for 1-2 weeks with a clear intention allows for a deeper relationship with the plant’s wisdom. Reflect on what you’re calling in whether it’s emotional healing, clarity, protection, or insight.
Intuitive Use: While structured use can be powerful, you can also work with the tincture as needed, trusting your intuition to guide you. It is safe for daily use if you feel called to it.
Journaling & Reflection: Keeping a small journal can help you track any insights, shifts, or emotions that arise during your work with the plant.
4. Adapting the Experience to You
There’s no rigid rule - some people benefit from structured, intentional work, while others find a more fluid, intuitive approach works best.
Pay attention to how your body, emotions, and energy respond. If you feel resistance or discomfort, pause and reflect on what the plant might be showing you.
Trust your own process and know that the relationship with plant medicine is deeply personal.
By approaching master plant tinctures with respect, presence, and openness, you can allow their wisdom to guide you in a way that best serves your journey. 🌿✨

Delivery
All prices include postage packaging and UK delivery and will be shipped once back I'm back in the UK. Please provide your address when you order. 

Expected delivery date: April 16th-18th 2025.

Noya Rao - Noya Rao, known as the Tree of Light or Flying Tree, is a revered master plant that guides us toward balance, harmony, and profound self-awareness. It illuminates the path to inner truth, helping us gain clarity, insight, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By working with this plant, we can develop a more organised and focused mind, sharpening our ability to discern what is real versus what is illusion. Noya Rao is known to activate intuitive capacities, expanding our awareness beyond habitual patterns and revealing unconscious assumptions that shape our perceptions of reality. By bringing these hidden beliefs to light, it empowers us to release limiting perspectives, build courage, and shift our worldview. This process of self-discovery is often accompanied by a sense of lightness, mental sharpness, and alignment with our highest truth. On a spiritual level, Noya Rao is often associated with dreamwork, lucid visioning, and profound states of meditation. It is said to help practitioners connect with the higher realms of consciousness, serving as a bridge between the material and spiritual worlds. By working with this master plant, we are invited to step into a state of greater alignment, authenticity, and wisdom, deepening our journey of transformation.
Chullachaqui - Cordia alliodora
Chullachaqui is a powerful plant ally with deep spiritual intelligence, offering a direct connection to the wisdom of the ancient forest. It is regarded as a guardian and protector, working as a bridge between human consciousness and the vast network of master plant spirits. This great tree is known for its ability to ground and stabilise the mind, making it particularly beneficial for those who experience anxiety, mental restlessness, or a sense of disconnection. Chullachaqui's energy brings the body into deep union with nature, helping to root scattered thoughts and emotions so that we can feel more centered, clear, and present. By settling the nervous system, it allows for a profound sense of calm and balance. Spiritually, Chullachaqui is said to open doorways to the wisdom of other master plants, making it a valuable ally for those working deeply with plant medicine. It enhances receptivity to the teachings of the forest and allows for a more harmonious exchange of knowledge between the plant world and the human spirit. This plant teaches respect, patience, and trust, reminding us that true wisdom is revealed through direct experience and deep listening.
Chiric Sanango Flower - Brunfelsia grandiflora
A powerful Master Plant and member of the nightshade family. The name Chiric means "cold," as this plant is traditionally used to remove cold from the bones, warming the body and relieving tension. It is commonly worked with to treat fevers, alleviate arthritis pain, and enhance circulation, while also being known to increase libido by stimulating vitality and flow. On a deeper level, Chiric Sanango penetrates the nervous and muscular systems, aligning the body's core structure and releasing stored tension. It works directly on the brain and neural pathways, facilitating a kind of neural reset that can promote mental clarity, emotional resilience, and a renewed sense of balance.
Bobinsana Flower - Calliandra Angustifolia
Bobinsana is known as a gentle spirit who heals and opens the heart. Deeply connected to the energies of love, compassion, and emotional resilience, she helps dissolve emotional barriers, fostering greater empathy and deeper connections with oneself, others, and the natural world. Working with Bobinsana can bring heightened clarity, emotional balance, and an expanded sense of oneness, allowing unconditional love to flow more freely. Often associated with lucid and vividly colorful dreams, Bobinsana is known to communicate through the dream space, offering guidance, insights, and emotional healing. She enhances intuition, focus, and spiritual clarity, making her a powerful ally for meditation, inner work, and creative exploration.
Marosa – Mauritia flexuosa
Marosa is a master plant known for awakening deep self-love, beauty, and emotional sensitivity. She works on the heart, softening emotional walls and helping us to reconnect with our vulnerability. Marosa teaches us to embrace love without fear, whether it be romantic, self-love, or universal love, helping us open to deeper relationships while maintaining healthy boundaries.
On an energetic level, she harmonises feminine energy, fostering grace, sensuality, and magnetic presence. She is often used to heal wounds from past relationships, dissolve patterns of unworthiness, and enhance our ability to both give and receive love. Marosa also connects us with our inner beauty, restoring confidence and self-worth. Physically, Marosa has purifying properties, supporting the skin, reproductive system, and circulation. She helps to bring lightness to the body, washing away stagnant energy and emotional burdens that weigh us down.
Achiote - Bixa Orellana 
Achiote, also known as Annatto, is a sacred tree revered for its protective, grounding, and cleansing properties. Traditionally used by Indigenous communities, it is believed to create an energetic shield, guarding against negative influences and psychic disturbances. By clearing energetic noise, Achiote helps strengthen intuition, inner guidance, and connection to ancestral wisdom. It is particularly grounding, offering emotional stability and resilience during times of upheaval. Used in shamanic rituals for protection and purification, Achiote’s bright red pigment has been applied to the body as a form of energetic armor. It is also associated with the heart chakra, supporting emotional balance and strengthening personal boundaries.
