How well are you presenting yourself online?

Since coronavirus happened we are now all online, one way or another. Many companies have either become remote, or are discussing how to work remotely more often, but without sacrificing results. More than ever, everyone needs to know how to interact online both professionally and effectively. But here's the rub: online events are completely different to in-person meetings in so many ways, not least because every single attendee brings a part of the meeting experience with them. Your audio, video, background, lighting and behaviour can make or break the online experience for everyone present. 

In this 90 minute session, you will learn what you need to be a remote-aware professional. Whatever your role - developer, manager, C-suite executive - this session will help you understand the key elements to presenting yourself more successfully across the host of conferencing solutions now available. 

The session will include a summary of key principles and practices of interacting online successfully. It will also provide breakout sessions allowing you to give and receive peer feedback of the online experience you are bringing with you each time, and also discussions to exchange ideas, experiences and technology recommendations. 

What you will need

The event will be held over Zoom. Do expect to be seen and heard, so you will need a webcam, headset & microphone (or similar), and a stable connection. You won't be able to drive or operate machinery either!
