Even out of courtesy, people do not feel as obligated to be involved online as they do in person. Online, the bar for engagement is even higher because we all know how easy it is to click on another tab or pick up your phone.
You have to elevate those opportunities, and a little intention goes a long way in the virtual setting. Virtually you usually miss so many opportunities – like to play some music or to use a system like Ecamm or any other technology or mode that allows you to come off more professionally and not see this as just another Zoom meeting.
And Sally believes it is worthwhile to take the time to explain, “Here is the configuration that I recommend for you to have the most engaging experience with this – do this and that so that you can see that.” You can create that sort of intention with your virtual space as well. Depending on the platform, it can be more challenging sometimes, but it is worth it.įor example, in Zoom, the audience has more control over what they see than you do as a presenter. Sally suggests applying the same intentionality to the virtual world. Once we have the space, we can develop a strategy and create the experience you want to create for your audience. In the planning and design of presentations, space is very underutilized.īefore we talk about the content or the idea, we need to talk about space. Leaving nothing to chance and being considerate about how you move, and what you want your audience to experience and get out of it – space can do all of this. And then there’s the question of space: what does it look like, how does it feel, and how can you make it work for you?Įven virtually, you can still create an intentional experience right away. Sometimes we rush to the idea, but we are so focused on it that we fail to perform the other things as well as we could.įigure out who you are as a speaker and what unique qualities you offer to this specific moment and audience.
