Love it or hate it, video conferencing is here for the long haul.

According to data from Stanford University around 40 percent of American workdays are currently done from home. And WFH is expected to remain at around 25 to 30 percent in 2022 and onward, meaning that virtual meetings and collaboration will by no means go away.

Productivity research also indicates that meeting technology has improved to help remote workers stay connected and engaged with workflows and management systems. Yet, many business leaders still struggle with the nuances of video conferencing, which is at the center of the new workplace. The ability to convey executive presence, authority and expertise on the small screen has become an indispensable skill for business leaders.

In this intensive one-hour workshop, you will discover the essential video meeting ASSETs™ you need to instill trust, display confidence and convey your ideas, plus the 10-point checklist that constitutes a professional video presence.

Do you want to ramp up your online presence and effectiveness? Public speaking coach, presentation skills and media trainer, Rosemary Ravinal, APR, will guide you through an interactive session designed to improve the way you look and sound –and ultimately the effectiveness of your professional brand–on Zoom or the video conferencing platform of your choice.
