7 Tips to Create Meaningful Connections in your Online Meetings in 7 Seconds
from Helping Cross-cultural Engineers and Technical Professionals Become Thought Leaders · host Christal Reed
The pandemic created a really steep learning curve, and many of us still do not completely understand the impact of virtual meetings on our relationships and productivity. ZOOM/WEBEX and video calls complicate the interpretation of signals – signals transmitted through subtle facial expressions, body language, vocal inflection and more. However, we know that our brain compensates for missing information and can lead to incorrect conclusions. Over time we get tired of “guessing” the intentions, emotions, goals, and messages of others - not fully grasping individual situations. Moreover, in large groups, like staff meetings, attention is a scarce resource. Most importantly online meetings are here to stay, so those who learn how to create meaningful connections online will be more successful in the future. In 7 Tips to Create Meaningful Connections in your Online Meetings in 7 Seconds, you will learn how to create a powerful first impression online so that you are perceived as the thought leader that you are. This workshop covers 1) Screen Environment, 2) Your Presence, 3) Facial Expressions & Body Language, 4) Voice, 5) Dress, 6) Word Choices, and 7) Technical Problems. Previous participants have said, “a lot of valuable information” and “critical points about what people can tell about you in just one second – very inspiring!” Join me for an hour that will change how you deliver value as a thought leader in your next online meeting.
