Out of Practice Being In Person?

Rebuild your 3-D leadership skills

Are you out-of-touch with in-person meetings?

We've spent the last few years strategizing about our virtual backgrounds and bookshelf etiquette. We've asked ourselves, "Did I wear that same sweater on video all week? Is today ok for a RightGuard shower? Can I just be off camera the whole time?" We even accepted new definitions of eye contact.

88% of meetings now have an in-person element. Relearn how to show up in person.
--How do you enter the room with presence? Will you shake hands?
--What experience do you want each attendee to have with you?
--Should you have a pre-meeting with any of the attendees?
--Will you multitask like you always do on video?
--What do you wear?
--Does where you sit matter? Should you stand to present?
--Is there anyone you’ll target for chitchat during breaks or at the end?

Your 3-D physical presence signals who you are as a leader. Be intentional.
