1/ Last week we wrapped up our Q1 2021 remote team summit at @getro

Here are a few lessons learned if you're considering running a remote team summit for your company:

2/ Pay attention to facilitation.

Engage others by getting them involved, time-box sessions to stay on time, take frequent breaks, and make sure you get feedback at the end for future improvements

3/ Manage the energy in the Zoom.

As a presenter, try leading with vulnerability about how much it means to you when people pay attention.

It also helps to engage specific people by name during the presentation; our name actually lights up a unique spot in our brain

4/ Leverage the best tools.

We use tools like
@MiroHQ, @asana, @BeautifulAI_, @zoom_us, @coda_hq, @IcebreakerVideo, and @SlackHQ to make sure we’re as productive as possible during the week

5/ Iterate.

As @getro has grown, the team’s needs change. We try to make sure each summit is designed for the needs of the team in that moment vs. being dogmatic about what has worked before.
