Engage Your Audience Online

Very quickly the world has been forced to communicate virtually. The current global pandemic has forced organizations to conduct all communication online or in a virtual setting. Department meetings, Corporate presentations, Performance reporting, Sales presentations, Corporate training and any other kind of knowledge transfer, all are now done online. However, this practice, while not completely foreign, is not the norm for many businesses. There are certain hurdles to overcome if you want to keep your business running like a well-oiled machine.

Virtual or online audiences depend even more on the facilitation, assignment clarification, and feedback provided by their instructor. The instructor’s role is focused on facilitating audience efforts to think critically, apply and make sense of new knowledge. Hence the presenter’s need for enhanced rapport building skills including probing, persuasiveness, empathy, active listening, articulate speaking including voice and power words and immaculate knowledge of the online presenter platforms.
