About the event

The situation around COVID-19 is rapidly evolving and Devex has recently transitioned to a fully remote team. We know a quick transition like this isn’t easy, so we’ll be leading a webinar to help senior leaders, HR, and people managers empower their team and support the transition to a remote work environment.



During this event we’ll cover:


  • Internal communication: How to adapt communication to keep the team connected, empower with trust, and drive a thriving organization (e.g. comms best practices, meetings, project management)
  • Asynchronous vs synchronous communication: Knowing when to use one over the other to create high-quality communication, strengthen working relationships, and facilitate deep work
  • Communication tools: Using the best resources to improve collaboration and alignment
  • Agile project management: Using practices to streamline communication, increase flexibility, prioritize high-value tasks


There will also be time at the end of the presentation to answer any questions you may have. Feel free to share them during the event or in advance by submitting them to Kate at [email protected].

And both of these, if one would tell the truth, were foreordained unto the holy place, where greatest Peter’s follower hath his seat. While on this quest, for which thou giv’st him praise, he heard the things which of his victory the causes were, and of the Papal Robe. The Chosen Vessel went there afterward, to bring thence confirmation in the faith, through which one enters on salvation’s path. But why should I go there, or who concedes it? I ’m not Aeneas, nor yet Paul am I; me worthy of this, nor I nor others deem. If, therefore, I consent to come, I fear lest foolish be my coming; thou art wise, and canst much better judge than I can talk.”
