  Description:

  The key to leading remotely is about more than the technology or the big events. Its about focusing on the moments that create opportunities for engagement and connection. In this session, we will explore the moments that truly matter when managing remotely. The ones that lead to higher engagement, better connection and productive teams. We will explore tools you can use to help your managers identify their own moments that matter when it comes to communicating, collaborating and connecting with their teams and start to build a plan to help managers build their remote management skills.

  We will:

  • Identify ways to collaborate asynchronously within your work environment to lessen meeting fatigue and improve team collaboration.
  • Educate managers on how they can become more intentional in connecting with their teams everyday.
  • Learn about team agreements and how to use them to help teams identify how they will work, collaborate and communicate to be effective and productive.

  Description

  In this hands-on introductory workshop, Joe Biondo will take you through Adobe Photoshop's basic capabilities and show you techniques to edit images and create visual design mock-ups that you will be able to immediately apply to your work as a learning professional.

  • Work with Layers
  • Make Image Adjustments
  • Blur and Replace Text
  • Create Cut Out Characters Using Transparent Images….and more.

  Attendees will receive a workbook and exercise files in advance of the workshop as well as access to a series of guided tutorial videos you can access after the event to practice and continue learning.

  Event and Technology Notes:

  Be sure to have the latest version of Adobe Photoshop installed on your computer. While all are welcome to attend, this will be a very hands-on session and the experience will be better if you have Photoshop to work with.

  For individuals with an Adobe Creative Cloud license: Install Adobe Photoshop 2021 - version 22.3.1 or the most recent version using the Adobe Creative Cloud app on your computer.

  For individuals who do not have an Adobe Creative Cloud license: There is a 7 day trial of Adobe Photoshop available. You will need to install Adobe Photoshop 2021 - version 22.3.1 or the most recent version within 7 days of the workshop.

  PLEASE NOTE: If you don’t cancel the free trial of Adobe Photoshop within the 7-day free trial period, it will automatically convert to a full Adobe Creative Cloud license and you will be stuck paying for it.
