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.

You&rsquo;ll have the opportunity to create a two-layer print with one colour layer, and one where we apply metal leaf to your design. Although no previous knowledge is assumed, you will get more from this workshop if you have attended one of our&nbsp;beginner or intermediate level screen printing workshops, or have&nbsp;previous experience of screen printing.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">You&rsquo;ll learn to create designs for screen printing;&nbsp;transfer your designs to a screen and print onto printmaking paper; and&nbsp;how to register your prints so they print in the same place every time.

We will then print your ready prepared images onto screen printing acetate ready for the workshop. Digital images need to be printed in black so photos and line drawings can work well, but faint lines and subtle textures don&rsquo;t transfer well.

In this advanced level screen printing workshop you will learn to coat, expose, print and clean silk screens. You’ll have the opportunity to create a two-layer print with one colour layer, and one where we apply metal leaf to your design. Although no previous knowledge is assumed, you will get more from this workshop if you have attended one of our beginner or intermediate level screen printing workshops, or have previous experience of screen printing.
You’ll learn to create designs for screen printing; transfer your designs to a screen and print onto printmaking paper; and how to register your prints so they print in the same place every time. You’ll make an edition of up to ten prints and choose your favourite to frame, ready for your wall or to give as a gift.
It’s a good idea to think about what you’d like to print before the workshop. Please bring some ideas for artwork with you, which we’ll draw by hand onto tracing paper during the first part of the workshop. We will have inspiration on hand if you’re stuck!
It is possible to print from digital images but these must be prepared before the workshop, so if you’d like to take up this option, please contact us at least 7 days beforehand so we can properly advise you on what will print well. We will then print your ready prepared images onto screen printing acetate ready for the workshop. Digital images need to be printed in black so photos and line drawings can work well, but faint lines and subtle textures don’t transfer well. If you are sourcing imagery from the internet, please ensure you have the necessary rights to use it.
If you’re in any doubt about whether the images you have in mind are suitable, please get in touchbefore the workshop.

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">The workshop will start with the basic principles and techniques of macram&eacute;, allowing you to build your confidence by creating small projects such as a key ring, before moving on to designing and creating your plant hanger, bespoke wall hanging, or bag.</p>
<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Once you feel more confident, you will learn how to calculate rope lengths and plan designs to create your chosen hand-crafted macram&eacute; project&nbsp;using 100% cotton rope and a selection of coloured twines.

Favourite feedback
We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite review for this workshop.

"Had a fantastic evening in this taster workshop. It was a great opportunity to try out the skills with loads of support. Lucy was very friendly and approachable allowing you to get the most out of the time. This was a small workshop so plenty of capacity for one on one support. Definitely something I’d try again and maybe even try out the wall hanging session next!" Heather Payne 2020

Macrame

Macrame class with local artist Lucy Wayman hosted by The Arienas Collective creative workshop space in Edinburgh City Centre.

Learn how to make your own macrame projects

If you have ever wanted to explore sketchbook journalling, this exclusive new workshop with the Edinburgh Sketcher is the perfect place to start.
On this 3.5 hour workshop, artist Mark Kirkham - known locally as the Edinburgh Sketcher - will show you how to capture what you see quickly and lift your sketches off the page using a little watercolour, and share why sketchbook journalling has become such an important part of his day-to-day life.
You will explore how words can be used as decoration, and add depth to your drawing. 
Sketching items from still life, you will learn how to choose what to include; and how to link your sketches together using colour and composition. 
Starting with a new sketchbook, Mark will help you overcome any fears you have of facing the blank page, and build your confidence with mark making. 
Using the tips and techniques you learn on the day, you will leave ready to continue your sketchbook journalling at home.
This workshop will be held indoors in our welcoming and supportive environment in Edinburgh's City Centre New Town.
The price includes locally-sourced Shibui teas and Mr Eion coffee, a wee snack, and all the materials you need to get started.
You will take home the lovely sketchbook journal you start on the day, and we hope it will inspire you to make sketchbook journalling a regular feature of your creative life.

Favourite feedback
We love to hear what you think about our workshops. Here's a favourite 5-star review for Sketchbook Journalling:
I attended a journaling workshop given by Mark aka The Edinburgh Sketcher held at The Arienas Collective Workshop Hub.
Mark’s unique take on documenting life as he sees it in the format of a sketchbook journal is both intriguing and inspirational.
In the course of the workshop, Mark’s generosity of character and a willingness to share with us his own story combined with practical tips and techniques, inspired us all to begin our own sketchbook journal. This has been one of the most worth while things I have done in the last few years! I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone. (Jonny Higgs)

Struggling with a child for whom praise is ineffective?
Feeling isolated in your responses to a child’s needs?

We will cover:
Setting the tone
Background and detailed teaching of process
Inclusion values underpinning this work
Graphic and process facilitation skills
Processes modelled and opportunities to try process out with coaching
Practical setting up of insights and solutions circles

Give your team the opportunity to pause and reflect on what matters most to them about the work they do. The act of listening to each other creates relationship and strengthens trust and inclusion within the team – in creating a shared vision, groups of people build a sense of commitment together. They develop images of ‘the future we want to create together’, along with the values that will be important in getting there and the goals they want to see achieved along the way. Unfortunately, many people still think ’vision’ is the top leader’s job. In schools, the ‘vision task’ usually falls to the Headteacher and/or the governors or it comes in a glossy document from the local authority or the DfES. But visions based on authority are not sustainable. Drawing on the planning tools MAPS and PATH (Pearpoint, Forest and O’Brien 1997) and other facilitation sources we use both process and graphic facilitation to enable the group to build their picture of what they would love to see happening within their organisation/community in the future and we encourage this to be a positive naming, not just a list of the things they want to avoid. ??Let us join you to explore your vision and the ‘roadblocks’ to your vision.

Making teams both creative and inclusive is fully explored and processes for maximising this examined. Effective leadership and management, which can transform teamwork through collaboration and consensus-building processes is covered.</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">The Native American medicine wheel guides us through four quadrants of leadership, vision, community and management.Harrison Owen in his work on &lsquo;Open Space Technology&rsquo; depicts the ancient Medicine Wheel (Owen, 2003). This is derived from centuries of tradition among First Nation Americans and has informed many cultures in different ways. We have found this an extremely powerful metaphor for understanding the process of team and organisational change and renewal.</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">The wheel of change begins in the north with a leading idea, for us &ndash; there is a better way of creating a team for inclusion. Travelling clockwise to the east we develop a shared vision of what this could look like in our setting, school or community. Then moving south we ask who needs to come with us on the journey. We wish to take as many community members along with us as we can. In an Early Years setting , this would mean enrolling the support of manager, the wider staff group, parents and ultimately children. Finally, at the west, we manage and implement the idea. We take action and turn the inclusive team into reality.</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">The cycle of this medicine wheel is an excellent way to view change processes for any team, organisation or community. When we contemplate change, the risk is always that we will jump prematurely from the big ideas (leadership) to practice (management) and ignore the other two important phases of creating vision and engaging the wider community.</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">When the going gets tough and the inclusion of a child or young person is beginning to seem extremely difficult if not impossible many will conclude that the child should no longer be present. We would like to challenge this. Why do we move so quickly to assuming the child is in the wrong place? Surely the real question should not be &lsquo;do they belong here?&rsquo; &ndash; but rather &ndash; &lsquo;what team support is needed here for this to work?&rsquo;</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">Or even more fundamental, &lsquo;who needs a team around them at this time?&rsquo;
<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Who needs the team? Who is struggling with the inclusion most?</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">Is it the young person, their practitioner or teacher, their headteacher, setting manager, their parent or even a member of the local support services?</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">Whatever the answer a team may need to be built, rallied or reformed. The nature of and number of that team will depend upon the situation. Diversity of membership will most surely be important to strengthen the quality of the support and of the ideas generated. Use radical rethinking when creating a new team or when revitalising an existing one.</p>

<p fr-original-style=" color: rgb(119, 119, 119);" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 119); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;">Creating effective teams for inclusion requires a courageous capacity for understanding and nurturing change both within the team and with those who the team work with.</p>

Description
Want a really creative, effective, inclusive team?
In this practical and engaging workshop there is input on team building, problem solving as a team, improving communication and handling conflict. This is participatory day of paper, pens, graphics, music and activity. There are no PowerPoint slides or even a projector and screen!
We keep the focus on interpersonal processes for getting the best out of the team. Making teams both creative and inclusive is fully explored and processes for maximising this examined. Effective leadership and management, which can transform teamwork through collaboration and consensus-building processes is covered.
We refocus the team on its capacities and gifts as well as give insights into what to do when individuals are off track.
The Native American medicine wheel guides us through four quadrants of leadership, vision, community and management.Harrison Owen in his work on ‘Open Space Technology’ depicts the ancient Medicine Wheel (Owen, 2003). This is derived from centuries of tradition among First Nation Americans and has informed many cultures in different ways. We have found this an extremely powerful metaphor for understanding the process of team and organisational change and renewal.
The wheel of change begins in the north with a leading idea, for us – there is a better way of creating a team for inclusion. Travelling clockwise to the east we develop a shared vision of what this could look like in our setting, school or community. Then moving south we ask who needs to come with us on the journey. We wish to take as many community members along with us as we can. In an Early Years setting , this would mean enrolling the support of manager, the wider staff group, parents and ultimately children. Finally, at the west, we manage and implement the idea. We take action and turn the inclusive team into reality.
The cycle of this medicine wheel is an excellent way to view change processes for any team, organisation or community. When we contemplate change, the risk is always that we will jump prematurely from the big ideas (leadership) to practice (management) and ignore the other two important phases of creating vision and engaging the wider community.
When the going gets tough and the inclusion of a child or young person is beginning to seem extremely difficult if not impossible many will conclude that the child should no longer be present. We would like to challenge this. Why do we move so quickly to assuming the child is in the wrong place? Surely the real question should not be ‘do they belong here?’ – but rather – ‘what team support is needed here for this to work?’
Or even more fundamental, ‘who needs a team around them at this time?’

Who needs the team? Who is struggling with the inclusion most?
Is it the young person, their practitioner or teacher, their headteacher, setting manager, their parent or even a member of the local support services?
Whatever the answer a team may need to be built, rallied or reformed. The nature of and number of that team will depend upon the situation. Diversity of membership will most surely be important to strengthen the quality of the support and of the ideas generated. Use radical rethinking when creating a new team or when revitalising an existing one.
Creating effective teams for inclusion requires a courageous capacity for understanding and nurturing change both within the team and with those who the team work with.

Overview
Most wellbeing at work strategies fail for one of two reasons:
They're not based on a rigorous, data-backed blueprint that's worked in other organisations - so you don't see the impact you're hoping for.
They're developed by an external partner who doesn't understand your organisation so it doesn't resonate and engagement is a struggle.
This course is designed to set you up for success by overcoming these challenges.
You already have the understanding of your organisation, its culture, goals and operating context.
We'll give you the proven blueprint - equipping you with research, best-practices and tools you need to create a positive impact in your organisation.
You'll also have the opportunity to connect with peers from other organisations and learn from each other.
You'll finish the course with a clear plan on the next steps you can take wellbeing a key element of your organisation's culture and daily habits.

We'll also support you to act as an effective liason to colleagues, giving them the support they need when they need it.
