Making Connections with Creativity
We have all learned how to adapt to the environment of Zoom, Teams or WebEx over the past year, but many have found it to not be engaging operating in this 2D world. We long for the days of being in a room together.
Many organizations are looking at what the return to work will look like and it does not appear that virtual meetings will be going away any time soon (if ever) so how we embrace this technology and find ways to make connections with others in this environment.
Join Christina Fair and Dawn Poteau for this fun and interactive session where they will have you participate in a few tools that you may not be aware of to make you next virtual meeting a bit more engaging and fun!
Christina Fair Founder, Fair Ventures
After 15 years in Leadership with the Quicken Loans Family of Companies and 7 as a Partner and Executive Leader with tech start up, Rocket Fiber, Christina has started Fair Ventures to help other companies support their teams in this new virtual world. Fair Ventures creates immersive virtual team building events and leadership strategy planning sessions designed to help work families get back to creativity, innovation, and well-being.
On a personal note, Christina enjoys dying her hair different colors monthly, tattoos, LOTS of exercise, reading about other Detroit based startups, and spending time with her two peanuts, Liam (14yrs), Anabelle (9yrs) and her brilliant CTO, bow tie wearing husband, John. She serves on the Board of Directors and is the Event Chair for Bees in the D. In addition, she is proud to have been a mentor for the We Build Character and The Red Door Project Mentorship Programs. Most recently, Christina was humbled to have been awarded a Crain's 2019 Notable Women in STEM award.
