The momentum for virtual meetings is building by the day. In fact, the current global climate is forcing a large portion of the workforce to get their on-camera skills up to a professional level fast.
Despite their rising popularity, people are still making big mistakes in video meetings. Lack of skills in how to show up on-camera and present during a virtual meeting can quickly alienate your audience and undermine your preparation as well as your expertise.
Master the art of Virtual Meetings
Replacing face to face meetings with virtual meetings will help everyone stay safe, connect, and share information during this difficult time, but the frustration of this quick change in workflow is real:
- You may have been scheduled to be a keynote speaker, participate as a panelist, or fly to a meeting, only to find that it will now be done as a virtual meeting.
- Maybe you want to keep going into the office but are being forced to work remotely.
- Possibly you’re caring for kids and elderly and now need to juggle those responsibilities while working from home. Then, somehow, miraculously, you need to show up on a video conference amidst it all.
My heart goes out to everyone. We have entered a frightening time like no other in a generation. So, as we all strap in for this unprecedented ride, at least we know we can get through this together, by staying connected with the help of virtual meetings.
Companies that don’t already have virtual meetings in place are adopting them quickly and discovering the benefits. Video meetings are a great way to develop relationships, retain employees, stay in touch, widen sales reach, build credibility, and offer new skills training. Plus, when this virus is putting undue pressure on families, the convenience of virtual meetings offers some much-needed relief.
It is important to remember that on-camera skills are different than meeting with people in person and if you don’t understand the do’s, don’ts and best practices of showing up on camera, you can quickly learn how and I have the experience to show you.
