Connection! That’s what it’s all about.
All my life I’ve been a student of people—how they collaborate and develop lasting relationships. My work has revolved around facilitating connections to build strong teams, and for many years these sessions occurred in face-to-face environments. With technology and globalization transforming the workplace, physical presence is not always possible, which brings up an interesting question. In virtual situations, how can you strengthen the human connection? Physical presence by itself is one factor in a relationship, but feeling connected is the key factor. I began to wonder how to sustain connection despite time and space constraints, and set out to explore virtual teams.
