Description

Virtual training was growing in popularity before the Coronavirus, but now it is definitely here to stay. In-person keynotes and training will be back, but the validity of virtual workshops and webinars has been cemented during the past few months.

While there are similarities between speaking to an audience at a live venue and speaking via a virtual training platform like Zoom or Go To Meeting, there are also unique differences. In this episode, I share 5 quick tips that have helped me improve my virtual training presentations. My hope is they will help you as well.
