A change of heart

In this month’s blog post I reflect on the tumult we’re feeling in Brooklyn (and around the country) these days. And it got me thinking about an earlier example I witnessed of an awakening to the racism that permeates our nation’s history.

Workshops for better communications

In these turbulent times, there is a real need to address big issues. And any discomfort, lack of clarity, or trouble projecting leadership through a teeny-tiny camera gets in the way of these larger concerns. So we need to overcome any lack of confidence in our virtual communication to do the work that needs to be done. Let me help you communicate via video chat from home. I am offering a pair of workshops that go beyond the "top three tips" and help you quickly master skills to get your message across and to listen effectively to others. More info here.

Video Tips You Can Use!

• Meetings over video chat platforms take more energy and focus. To be effective, plan ahead, and get your talking points ready so you are respectful of everyone's time.

• Schedule a video meeting to be at least 20% shorter than a comparable meeting held in-person. A good rule of thumb is any meeting that would be an hour at the office should be 45 minutes online.

Check out my new videos that offer tips for presenting with virtual presence!
