📺 Virtual Presenting: A necessary skill to master. With online courses, in-home offices and community groups connecting solely on digital platforms, conducting meetings online is a crucial skill to master! Despite their convenience, online meetings can present some unique difficulties, unlike those in onsite events. With participants being in another room, it’s way easier to lose your audience’s attention. Not only that, but virtual meetings can be more tiring due to your audience multitasking at the same time - checking emails, being on social media, and even playing games. Talk about mental overload! Leaders should make intentional efforts to keep their presentations engaging & to the point in order to maintain their audience's interest. Simple tips such as sticking to the pre-determined agenda, talking calmly & clearly and using slides to support your message - and not the other way around - can greatly improve your virtual speaking skills and the impact of your presentation.

🤝 Navigating difficult conversations with coworkers and stakeholders is always tricky. You want to get your points across while maintaining professionalism and empathy towards your counterparties. Preparation is key. Following some simple communication protocols during the discussion can make a world of difference and diffuse the situation quickly. Make sure to stay calm and collected without interrupting to much. Remember, you are there to listen and understand everyone’s point of view so you can find a middle ground and re-establish positive trust, not to get your way! While your counterparty speaks, listen actively and remain respectful. Ask them open questions (Who, When, Where, Why & How?) to give encouragement and create a safe environment where they feel comfortable to express themselves. Take notice of non-verbal clues to gain insights into how everyone’s feeling about the situation and empathize with their side. Difficult conversations are not easy for anyone involved.

🤔 Did you know that V.U.C.A. stands for “Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity” and it’s used to describe tough and uncertain times in an organization? Nowadays, we live in a volatile economic landscape where many companies face significant ups and downs within the year. In those times of uncertainty, your team’s morale can plummet as people worry about what’s to come in their career trajectory. As leaders, communicating empathy and listening to your employees is more crucial than ever during those difficult periods. According to studies, 85% of employees stated that empathetic leadership raises productivity and creates a more positive work environment. The first step before taking decisive action is to create a space of reassurance and empathetic support for your employees. To paraphrase Kierkegaard – nothing can start until we go “to where people are”. Effective communication always starts in the hearts and minds of people. So make sure to listen to your team before moving toward problem-solving and rebuilding your strategy. Want to learn how to master empathetic communication to empower your team?

🛑 Stop giving boring presentations at work! We’ve all been in a lifeless presentation before where we had to endure slide after slide of pointless data. You might think: “If they were pointless, they wouldn’t have put them there”. Well yes, but will anyone remember them? Engaging your audience and getting your message across goes beyond just stating information. People remember stories. Behind this quarter’s data is the story of the employees who worked hard to make these reports, the people who wish for a better quarter ahead and those who are proud of their accomplishments. Remaining authentic goes a long way toward presenting with impact. As we’re busier than ever, it’s tempting to just “throw” a series of data on a blank slide, instead of crafting a narrative. But, think again! Your goal as a leader is to motivate and communicate areas of improvement, not to reiterate common company knowledge.

🎤 Make an impact on your next presentation with the “SOG” technique. Entering the stage is always stress-inducing, even for the most experienced and prepared presenters. Heart palpitations, sweaty palms, and a shaky voice can creep up on you out of nowhere. But, you are not alone! 💡 According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 74% of people suffer from some form of speech anxiety. This means that most people are nervous when speaking in public. However, there is a way to combat this! The secret lies in how you communicate with your audience beyond your words. Effective communication isn’t just about what you say, but the before, during and after of saying it. By being “SOG” - slow, open & grounded - you can beat the state fright and deliver an impactful presentation, even with minimal preparation!

💻In today’s digital environment, mastering the art of virtual leadership is essential. As more and more teams become fully remote, developing skills for effective communication in virtual settings is crucial. Online meetings require a unique approach to engage your audience and ensure productivity across various digital platforms. 💡A critical element that’s often overlooked is the necessity of adjusting your communication style to fit virtual formats. For example, did you know that online meetings are more tiring due to the presenter not showing all non-verbal cues? Adapting your leadership techniques to overcome these barriers is key to ensuring your audience maintains their attention and interest throughout long presentations. Techniques such as using audiovisual aids, engaging your audience with Q&As, taking frequent breaks and looking at the camera level (and not directly at the screen) can greatly improve your virtual leadership.
