Strategic Counsel by ForthRight Business: Cultivating Culture Virtually with Nancy Koziol, couch + cork
Whether your teams have fully returned to the office or you have settled into a remote, hybrid, or decentralized work environment, cultivating culture continues to be a hot topic. Many leaders opt for in-person events to bring people together, but this may not be feasible. We wanted you to learn from an expert who excels at cultivating culture virtually, so we welcomed on Nancy Koziol, Founder & Wine Educator at couch + cork. She leads a team of internationally certified wine experts to deliver seamless, stress-free virtual wine tastings for corporate clients. And yes – you’ll hear a virtual wine tasting demo in this episode! Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- How leaders (and teams) can overcome resistance to virtual
- The benefits of virtual connection
- Which virtual experiences create trust, safety, and authentic connection
- What successful virtual experience require to succeed
- The ONE thing you should do if you visit Vermont
