Episode 96. How To Be Engaging on Webcam and in Online Meetings

Are you finding it difficult in our new online world, of hybrid or video meetings, to connect with your audience like you used to in real life (IRL)?    Well, that’s the topic of this week’s Speaking with Confidence episode.    Community member Sonia responded to my call out a while ago saying “I see a lot of experienced speakers struggle when it comes to talking to their web camera. It's a really different dynamic to being in person.”    Just because you’re not in the same physical room anymore doesn’t mean you can’t be as engaging, interactive or as impactful as you are when you’re in the same space.    In this episode you’ll discover:    How to emulate the small talk and casual banter of an in-person meeting, online  How to still get the ‘ancillary’ but highly important ‘cross-talk’ that happens when you’re in person – when people interject or get excited when they’re in the same room – in a virtual meetings  How to engage a virtual audience so powerfully they WON’T be tempted to multi-task while they’re listening to you … because you get and KEEP their attention!    To have your own question addressed in an upcoming episode, join the Speaking with Confidence facebook group and ask away.    If you’d like to stop waffling, talking in circles or drowning your audience in all the things, download my FREE ebook, How To Stop Rambling today
