The COVID-19 pandemic has made many permanent changes, especially in how we work. Hybrid working environments are far more commonplace than they used to be, meaning many employees have had to adapt to a virtual working environment. Whilst working from home can be easier for some, virtual communication is still something many haven’t mastered.

In this course, you are going to learn and perfect effective virtual communication skills that will help you both lead and listen during online working sessions. By putting a focus on connection, empathy and engagement, you will soon know exactly how to tailor your virtual presentations to the audience at hand. You will also be given storytelling techniques and persuasion psychology tips, meaning you will always know how to have a successful virtual meeting that keeps the audience interested and actively listening.

Not only will you be able to lead sessions, but you will become an engaged participant in them too. By learning the ‘4 Golden Questions’ and the ‘3 steps of active meeting design’, you can ensure that every virtual meeting you are part of is given a richer purpose.

Put all this together, and you have an eclectic set of virtual communications skills that will have you looking forward to engaging in the virtual environment, rather than dreading it and waiting for it to be over.
