@jerome – Wow! Timzon looks pretty slick and perfect for virtual collaboration. I signed up for an account but got lost in the app trying to create my first video discussion.

I sent you an invitation … I’d like to demo it if possible before providing any more feedback.

Really great idea for training in this environment Cath. Keeping training fresh and relevant by rotating locations is just a GREAT idea. I know from personal experience in the corporate world that “training programs” in the traditional sense are pretty ineffective. Mixing it up this way forces people to be on their toes.

Some good tips. I’d add that a good way to keep people connected and provide ongoing training is to rotate the a training session amongst the team members. When you’re leading the training session, you’re compelling to think more about where the rest of the team are at and what they might benefit from focusing on in the training, which has the added benefit of bringing people together more in the team. Running training this way also ensure that all team members are developing their communication and leadership skills – crucial for success in just about every job these days, and it ensures that training is relevant, rather than the usual training programs chosen by HR who are often disconnected from the actual workface.

I completely agree that face-to-face interaction helps build a “sense of being invested in the people around you.”

With that in mind, and because actually being physically in the same place at the same time is not always possible or practical, I created http://www.timzon.com and I would really like your feedback on it.

The idea is to create a face-to-face type experience through recorded conversations (so it’s on your own time).

Jerome.
