Webinar: Perfecting Your Virtual Presence to Connect with Your Audience

Perfecting Your Virtual Presence to Connect with Your Audience

The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically shifted the way business professionals present, communicate and learn. In addition to needing strong communication skills in face-to-face situations, today successful communicators must also understand how to communicate effectively online using virtual platforms.

Join us for this LTEN webinar, sponsored by CMR Institute, as we explore using non-verbal physical techniques specific to a virtual environment. Presenter Greg Justice is a nationally known workshop facilitator and executive coach who teaches others to use acting techniques to improve both live and virtual presentation and communication skills. Greg will coach webinar attendees through techniques used by professional actors that can be put into use in improving communication, engagement and knowledge retention.

These include ways to develop and work within the positive energy zone, tips on both standing and sitting when presenting online, movement on-screen and the use of gestures. The webinar will also share some “acting for the camera” techniques that professional actors use to captivate, engage and hold an audience’s attention while presenting via virtual platforms. These techniques can be used to help receive and maintain an audience’s attention when presenting online. Training professionals will benefit from enhancing their skills by learning to engage an audience, keep an audience’s attention for long periods, and have a participant remember their words over an extended period.

At the webinar, you will learn how to:

• Master compelling non-verbal techniques to captivate customers, trainees and peers using virtual platforms.
• Connect with your target audience by adopting “acting for the camera” techniques while using virtual platforms.
