No need to shorten your summer holidays for an essential meeting at the office – just make it virtual! Even without your actual presence and involvement, you can still be your best PR person and be heard. Remember these basic common-sense rules for this great technology, to ensure your virtual presence is as impactful as can be:
- Vocal power wins: Project your voice to demonstrate authority, confidence and approachability.
- Always stand up when you speak. Your voice will be clearer and louder.
- Using hand gestures for voice projection and smiling for approachability will make your voice sound more welcoming.
- Have an agenda and ensure it includes opening “thank you” statements for the attending parties, and appreciation for those who helped setting up the meeting.
- Find the proper setting: a quiet room with no distractions is ideal. Video conferencing image quality has the same rules as television appearances: avoid patterns with plaids, large prints, herringbones and wide stripes.
