Must-Haves for Maximizing Virtual Dojo Engagement

Description

Immersive Learning Dojos are an agile staple that consistently yield longstanding success in terms of skill building and habit development. A major contributing factor to Dojo success is collocation. Think hyper-collocation: an open space concept filled with whiteboard walls, oversized monitors, pairing stations, and busy collaboration. But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the worldwide lockdown suddenly became the Dojos’ biggest roadblock.

How could we maintain the effectiveness of Dojo engagements when we couldn’t collaborate freely in-person?

How on Earth would we keep people engaged when they were simultaneously managing their home lives?

As a Dojo coach that survived the switch to remote, I am here to share the most important things that helped me improve Dojo engagement, overcome Zoom fatigue, and enable people to grow in this new paradigm.

I hope these tips will help you as much as they've helped me!
