Description:
Camera on? Camera off? Microphone on? Microphone off? Blurred background? Cat on my lap?
So many things to consider.
And no guidelines to help.
Until now.
Virtual meetings have become the norm these days, but most of us are still trying to learn how to do them well. It all happened so quickly, didn’t it? The move to the online world, I mean. And here we are – just trying to figure out the what, when, where, why, and how of it all.
In this workshop, we discuss best practices related to professional behavior and etiquette as a virtual attendee (this can include the presenter!), and we will also consider if the virtual environment is an appropriate (or inappropriate) choice in the first place.
Join the discussion and find ways to increase your professionalism in the virtual work world.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify appropriate uses for online versus in-person meetings
- Learn professional behavior and etiquette for virtual settings
- Improve communication in virtual meetings
