These days we are all in the midst of a lot more online meetings and presentations. How can you present your best (virtual) self in these situations?

One way is to have a listen to my recent Communication on Point podcast where you will learn so many different things, including why:

• You should pre-record your presentation, and watch yourself with the sound off

• You should begin reading children’s books out loud immediately

• Your lighting scheme matters (FYI you shouldn’t look like you’re in the witness protection program or just up from growing mushrooms in the basement)
• Your mirror is your unlikely, best, new colleague

• You need to check the weather forecast – despite the fact that we’re staying inside
• And – yes—why I am wearing an eye mask in the photos, above.

I hope you enjoy it! I promise you’ll receive a boatload of information in a quick 30 minutes.

Again, here’s the link and if you have any new, best practices please let me know those, too!
