Virtual meetings have been a fundamental anchor in corporate communications and assembly. Not just in times of crisis. Now is a better time than ever to explore how virtual meeting elements can BE your meeting or enhance your meeting.
For most of human history, communication was direct and in-person. We have evolved to place our innate trust in human voices and immediate contact; therefore, for building a team or aligning your organization there is only one approach that leverages all those human factors: a face-to-face meeting.
