With more people getting vaccinated, we are all hopeful that pre-pandemic \u201cnormal\u201d eventually will return in the coming months. Even so, certain behaviors that have become ingrained are likely to remain.<\/p>\n
Chief among them is the videoconference.<\/p>\n
Until just a few years ago, videoconferences primarily were reserved for situations where an in-person meeting was out of the question, such as for high-profile meetings taking place from multiple locations around the world. But there were other issues that prevented videoconferencing from going mainstream, such as slow networks, poor video quality, and the social stigma attached to not \u201cshowing up\u201d in person.<\/p>\n
Thanks to improved technology and the results of the pandemic, those are no longer issues. Today, we\u2019re just as likely to hold a virtual meeting with a colleague in the same city as we are with someone halfway around the world. And between the rise of the gig economy and the pandemic, virtual corporate onboarding and training sessions have quickly become part of the new normal.<\/p>\n
While most businesspeople know the ins and outs of how to initiate a video meeting and join another\u2019s conference, some trainers are not as familiar with or proficient at videoconferencing best practices for achieving successful outcomes. Unlike an in-person meeting, it\u2019s easy to lose interest when joining a virtual training session and become distracted or overly fatigued.<\/p>\n
Meeting via a videoconference app is not the same as gathering in person. And adapting to that fact is especially important when it comes to corporate training sessions. As a trainer, you want to know attendees are getting the most they can from each meetup. Fortunately, you can maximize your effectiveness when speaking to a virtual group by following some basic strategies. They include:<\/p>\n
These strategies are all easy to implement. Doing so will make all the difference between conducting a training session with real impact, compared to one attendees will forget the minute it\u2019s finished.<\/p>\n
