On Wednesday 26 August, Jo Hompstead, the founder of ConnectUp, will give a presentation on Connecting Remotely – How to build and maintain great relationships in the virtual world.

Working virtually, and managing relationships remotely, is here to stay at least in some form. Whether liaising with clients, customers, suppliers, our teams, or our matrix network (those who help us build and grow our business), building and maintaining great relationships is key. How do we do this best virtually? What tools and techniques could we use? What questions can we ask ourselves to make sure the form of contact is best suited to the person and situation?

ConnectUp strives to make a positive impact on people’s working lives by recognising the need to meaningful connecting AT work and TO the work we do. They recognise that every person and every business is unique. ConnectUp offers a bespoke mix of consultancy, facilitation, thinking space, team events and strategy development. They work with large corporate organisations, leaders of teams of whatever size and owners of SMEs to build connection and meaning in people’s working life.

During the Hour, there will be 20 minutes for businesses to share ideas, opportunities or concerns with each other and the rest of the time for the input from our local business experts. There will also be the opportunity to follow up afterwards with NFBP and with the experts.

Please note that this is a virtual Zoom meeting and is free of charge. You do need to book by 1400 on Wednesday. You will then receive an email just after 1400 with the Zoom meeting ID and password to enable you to join the meeting online.
