Successful Distance Management Teleseminar
Spread over 2 sessions
15:00– 16:30pm (UK Time) 
 
Session One: 13th April 2010: Developing Relationships, Trust and Managing Expectations
 
Session Two: 27th April 2010: Leading Teams
 
Whether it is due to restructuring of key functions, increased delivery through partners, concern about climate change or a travel budget freeze – most of us in the development and humanitarian sector have to work with colleagues at a distance.  
 
In the last 2 years People In Aid have delivered the Successful Distance Management Workshop to over 100 participants, both as an open and an in-house programme. Due to unprecedented demand for it worldwide, we are now offering you and your colleagues the opportunity to partake in the training via a teleseminar.
 
Designed for both managers and staff working with colleagues at a distance, the programme is spread over two sessions which delivers the learning in bite size chunks, with the opportunity to try out practical exercises between sessions, and to deliver and receive feedback on the experience.  Additionally, the sessions will be recorded, for participants to refer to in the future.  The teleseminar can be accessed from anywhere. All you need is a telephone. 
 
Through Two interactive sessions you will learn:
·         How to communicate better with remote team members and ensure common understanding
·         How to develop and maintain trusting relationships at a distance
·         What successful distance teams do, the support they get from their organisation and structural considerations
·         When and where technology can help
 
Apart from the two sessions, participants should set aside 3-4 hours in-between sessions to trial ideas.
 
Every participant will receive a comprehensive handbook on distance management and an audio recording of the event
  
Please note that participants will need to cover their own phone-in costs.
