MC’d by the Clicks and Tips founder, Roy Nader, this reverse mentoring session will focus on leveraging Microsoft Teams for managers and future leaders. We will focus on combining a few “clicks and tips” to achieve tasks more efficiently while adding some emotional intelligence. We will also discuss the PASS strategy among other things.

The session will feature a senior leader (TBC) who will share their challenges with managing in the current virtual environment. After, Roy will demonstrate key functionalities in MS Teams that can help us all reduce stress and gain new tips to utilize technology. Participants will also get a chance to share their challenges and ask questions.
