People will thank you if you created good rules, because otherwise it’s awkward, and you’re leaving everyone to figure them out on their own. ~Priya Parker

Over the past few months, tens of thousands of meetings that would otherwise be conducted in boardrooms, coffee shops, libraries and dining room tables are now being held virtually – over Zoom, Google Meets and Microsoft Meetings.

And while current technology allows for connection and continued business communications now more than ever, it isn’t without its problems. Hosts who’ve never conducted an online meeting are trying to push in-person ways into virtual rooms. Participants are exhausted, depleted and Zoomed out. Many meetings leave people feeling disconnected and confused.

In today’s episode, we get really practice and offer up a ton of tips and strategies for both hosts and participants.

Enjoy the episode.
