Building Relationships in 2022 - A Muscle We All Need to Flex

We experienced so many changes in the ways we interacted over the past two years.  Connecting virtually provided a solution to working through the restrictions.  Now that we have moved past the majority of limitations placed on how we connect, it is time to ask ourselves, do we still have the muscle memory needed to cultivate in-person relationships?  In this session we will review the lessons learned in 2020 and 2021 and apply them to relationship building in 2022. Now more than ever, strong relationships in the workplace are critically important to the fitness of any organization. Join us to explore this topic and to share insights which may resonate with others in the group. Who knows, you might just develop another relationship or two in the process.

Learning Objectives

In this session, we will:

• Review the benefits and challenges of building and maintaining relationhips in a primarilyvirtual world
• Identify the changes needed in order to develop successful relationships moving forward
• Create a three step plan for building stronger relationships in your organization which can be implemented immediately
