\\u2666\\ufe0fKEY TAKEAWAYS:\\xa0
Try to look at the camera- it is something you can train to do.
What's behind us is important as is the angle of the camera and lighting.
When we are online our attention span on a screen is a lot shorter, whatever we do on here we need to make sure it is engaging and we keep their attention.
\\u2666\\ufe0f EPISODE QUOTES
"On a zoom call, we have less to see[...] all we have to go buy is a handful things. We only have to go by what we see in terms of the face [...] we cant see gestures that help us remember works, phrases, and messages. "
"So many small things you can do to give yourself some credible points before you even begin to speak"
"If we haven't got engagement or reactions their is a higher chance that people will leave"
