Overview
Do your online meetings feel like a bore? Do they exceed specified times with no end in sight? The world is moving fast and we are having to adapt our businesses to online platforms. Meetings, conference calls and reviews that would normally have taken place face to face are now not as tangible as they used to be. Engaging others through a screen takes a shift in skills and capabilities. This new communication style is crucial as it is fundamental to new core business practices, especially when the stakes are high and a simple email will just not land the message with enough impact.
