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 Image
It's TIME! We're thrilled to be live with @dessalen to celebrate and share some learnings from this past year. Follow along in this thread ⤵️ and share your insights with us by using ➡️ #TeVE & #TeVirtualEvents #Bestof2020 Image
Quick review -January 2020 was off to a tough start! What was happening back then? ⤵️ Image
Then... #Covid19 became a reality. #DigitalTransformation became a priority in so many sectors! Conversations started erupting in our platform 📈 and we saw so many important conversations happening to help #KeepPeopleConnected. #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE #BringPeopleTogether Image
We offered our help to facilitate and drive the conversation from #LOUDtocrowd. Did you launch an exchange during this time? ⤵️ #BringPeopleTogether #KeepPeopleConnected. Image
Statewide exchanges to help connect people virtually for the first time.💥 40K participants, 50K thoughts, 1.5 million connections in our star step 🤩 to #BringPeopleTogether & #KeepPeopleConnected across the state of #Connecticut. Image
Conversations to help leaders keep looking forward during an uncertain time. How do you want your organization to be remembered? #PostCOVID Image
#SuddenlyRemote! What were the fears of people working from home for the first time? When you offer a safe space, people are able to be honest & open. Full anonymity of the #Thoughtexchange platform makes this possible. Understand the fears so that you can address them. 💜 Image
After settling in to being #SuddenlyRemote for awhile, we were able to help each other to make #workingfromhome even better! Work/life balance can be hard when you work where you live. #Crowdsourcing the best ideas to help #KeepPeopleConnected. Image
We watched students, teachers & families struggling with the "new normal" of #education at home. Anti-racism became a global movement. #COVID19 put EQUITY in the forefront of peoples minds by exposing glaring inequities for BiPOC resulting in loss of life. 💜 #BringPeopleTogether Image
#DEI - People want action . Inclusion can begin with a conversation. #Crowdsourcing #Diversity, #Equity and #Inclusion thoughts from your community will uncover ACTION items to help drive change. #AI and #MachineLearning makes it happen in real time ⚡️ #BringPeopleTogether Image
What about #mentalhealth? 2020 has been the longest year (EVER). How are we supporting each other during these times? When thoughts are completely anonymous, people understand that it's a safe space to share deeply 💜 #MentalHealthMatters Image
Yes, it's been a bumpy ride but what is your plan to address these things in 2021? ⬆️ The "grace period" is almost over. We were ALL new to this in 2020, how will you lead your team into 2021? 🤔 #BringPeopleTogether Image
The time is now. How are you scaling conversations around #COVID19? #RemoteLearning? #AntiRacism & #DEI? #MentalHealth & #Wellness? Image
Whew that was a lot! 😓 We're now sharing thoughts that are fresh on our minds & rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ the thoughts of others. @dessalen will go through some of the "top thoughts". #LOUDtocrowd #Crowdsourcing Image
Top Thought - "Have a REAL work-life-balance conversation!"

What would that conversation look like for you? Where would you start? How would your answers differ if you felt like your thoughts were truly anonymous rather than speaking out loud to your whole team? #LOUDtocrowd
"We need to talk about developing people remotely".

#RemoteWork is here to stay! How can you ensure that this will not affect your career path? How will you continue to help employees move forward and continue to thrive? These conversations are already happening. #LOUDtocrowd
Checking in with employees (temperature check) without being intrusive. Is this hard for you? COACHING - Try using open-ended questions & leave space for them to lead the conversation. Try "How do you want to spend this time today?" Be present for wherever this takes you.
That's all for today! What a great review & a truly productive conversation to help us align our focus for 2021. Thank you to everyone who joined us today! Stay tuned for the replay, @dessalen really helps ease the transition from 2020 to 2021 😉 #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE Image

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. Image
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

Today we're going to learn how to see exactly where everyone in your group lands with Teala! AKA: Breaking your exchanges apart to make them more manageable and define the data (with Survey Questions and Participant Groups) #TeMasterClass #TeVE
Our participants will leave this #TeVE with the knowledge of how to set up their own survey questions & participant groups. Survey questions are close ended questions to better understand participants. Use them to see who has participated and who hasn't.

@KafrissenKai & @EquitySupt1 with a warm welcome to all 💜 Dennis opens with wise advice from a mentor: "As a leader, stay far enough ahead so that your people know you are leading, but stay close enough that you are accessible" #TeVirtualEvents #BringPeopleTogether
@EquitySupt1 These #DEI conversations are so difficult and can quickly gain the wrong kind of attention. Dennis explains his own experience of safety being compromised for having these conversations. Cadence matters when reaching out to have these conversations!

Adoption of change is moving much faster! Can you relate? #BringPeopleTogether Image
We're talking about moving from SURE to being UNSURE. Moving from Certainty to UNCertainty.
When someone is "suffering" from certainty their mind is closed and knowing, sure that they have all the answers. Loss of humility. Loss of curiosity! #TeVE
