Are you looking at me?

I hate to repeat a headline from a previous blog, but the battle continues as I coach people to care how they appear on a virtual meeting.

Please accept this attempt, and share with others who can also benefit.

If you are the two CNBC people above, they are not only looking at the audience, but they are actually looking at each other.

Why is this important?

In a virtual meeting (#zoom) if you are looking at images of people BELOW your camera, you are only looking at IMAGES OF PEOPLE, not the people you think you are addressing.

Question: where are the other participants looking while you speak?

They can only see you on their screen. If you are also looking at your screen, and not the camera, you are NOT LOOKING AT THEM.

If you are not going to look directly at your audience, by looking only at the camera, MAKE A PHONE CALL INSTEAD.
