Abstract/Description

Immersive Learning Dojos are an Agile staple that consistently yield longstanding success in terms of skill building and habit development. A major contributing factor to Dojo success is collocation. Think hyper-collocation―an open space concept filled with whiteboard walls, oversized monitors, pairing stations, and busy collaboration.

But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the worldwide lockdown suddenly became the Dojos’ biggest roadblock. How could we maintain the effectiveness of Dojo engagements when we couldn’t collaborate freely in-person? How on Earth would we keep people engaged when they were simultaneously managing their home lives?

As a Dojo coach that survived the switch to remote, I am here to share the 6 most important things that helped me improve Dojo engagement, overcome Zoom fatigue, and enable people to grow in this new paradigm. I hope these tips will help you as much as they helped me!
