"Don't worry - We're all new at this" - @KCMcgowan. So true. This is different than all other challenges that Kevin has been a part of as a district leader. #TeVE#TeVirtualEvents
How are you bringing people together remotely? At first, it was about communicating quickly "what do you need? How can we help". Then we need to know how can we have a conversation about getting you what you need and maintaining connection #Keeppeopleconnected#TeVirtualEvents
How to connect? Bring them to a virtual environment. Zoom, Facebook Live, Town Hall Meetings. Use all of these tools together to #keeppeopleconnected. People find comfort with these virtual tools. #TeVirtualEvents#bringpeopletogether
Lack of schedule is helping people to connect. They're worried about themselves and also looking to support each other. As a leader, Dr. McGowan's team is helping people help each other in addition to getting them the tools they need to be successful while #suddenlyremote.
People will adopt new technologies. This will also help people see value in face to face meetings in the future since we are forced into this new remote environment. Our job as leaders is to support staff and community to adjust and be agile to these rapid changes. #COVID19#TeVE
It's about sharing information and creating a virtual space to build off the thinking of others and really get a good understanding of what the community is concerned about & how they are feeling. #Thoughtexchange provides this safe space for this important, ongoing conversation.
These exchanges really help to meet people where they are at. Using the data from these exchanges helps them to make plans and strategically plan their next moves based on the feedback from their community. #TeVirtualEvents
The thoughts, feelings and concerns from the exchange are directly affecting conversations with Emergency Personnel. The community is truly helping to shape their own emergency response. Leaders can respond to thoughts in the exchange for all to see. #TeVirtualEvents
The trust that has been built in the past is now helping their community to work together and collaborate. Lead with compassion and empathy - that's what people need right now. Everyone's situation is so different. #TeVirtualEvents#BuildingTrust#TeVE

Our event Start Fast, Finish Strong: How to Keep the Momentum Going is on! Join @JaymeSmithers and Jessica Livingstone to learn how to keep the momentum going with your team through 2021. Join here: bit.ly/2YYZsiY
How do you win – and continue to win – in the midst of #disruption? The traditional tools and strategies aren't working. We need to take a new path in #salesenablement and #revenue.
Are you planning your #sko or did you already run your annual #saleskickoff? 2021 is all about tackling the challenges 2020 brought to the forefront.
Starting with an exercise to see where we are all coming from. Not geographically, but measuring our white privilege through a series of questions. We are all coming to this conversation from different places, we recognize and embrace this. #BringPeopleTogether#TeVE
@EquitySupt1 reminds us that Feb. is set aside for #BlackHistoryMonth. Learnings that have come from Martin Luther King for Dennis - racial metamorphosis. White allies for MLK? He found them amongst other clergy. He called on them to be a part of his work. #BringPeopleTogether
@KafrissenKai starts us off with a group activity to recognize our White Privilege. Kai acknowledges that she is showing up today in her own way, and leaning into these conversations as best she can. How are you showing up today? #BringPeopleTogether#TeVirtualEvents
@EquitySupt1 reminds us why we are bringing people together for this work. 90% of school district leaders in the US are white. 90% also stated that the work of #DEI is important but only 20% believe that they are equipped with the skills and talent to lead this work! #Equity
@KafrissenKai opens with a heartfelt welcome. In this work we are supporting each other! We (@thoughtxchng) are learning & growing (with you). We are committed to showing up at co-conspirators, we won't let "perfection" immobile us in starting this important work! #Equity 💜
We're LIVE with Dr. Devon Horton, @EquitySupt1 & @KafrissenKai to learn about how to establish working definitions on the equity journey. Follow along in this thread ⤵️ and by using #TeVirtualEvents and #TeVE.
We are thrilled to see over 100 people making this virtual event a priority! Think of this #TeVE as a prerequisite to your #equity conversations. We will look at how to establish definitions, gain consensus to avoid triggering participants, & lead productive conversations. #DEI
@KafrissenKai - We are stronger together! What is Kai seeing with our customers around #DEI? Leaders are making this an ongoing conversation! Shared definitions are helping to avoid different meanings for different people to facilitate our learning. #BringPeopleTogether
Last chance to join us to review the year that no one expected! We will be LIVE in 10 minutes to look at the questions that made the biggest impact & the conversations that helped communities/organizations make it through tough times. Register now: bddy.me/37jh1PI
