Difficult conversations are, by definition — “difficult” — in any workplace. They can be even more challenging in the virtual/remote environment. Whether it’s supervisor to a team, peer-to-peer, manager to contractor, or conducting a job performance review, these conversations are tricky at best. Now, we must cope with connecting through technology. Do you find yourself seeking new skills, techniques and approaches, especially on virtual platforms?
CommCore, with decades of experience working with federal agencies, non-profits and private sector clients, can help you make virtual platform communication powerful and productive. When working from home, it’s imperative that you conduct critical conversations effectively without sacrificing the benefits of in-person interaction.
In the virtual world, most of the in-person cues and signals may be harder to detect. Eye contact, voice tone, gestures, and room atmosphere are all different. This can lead to misunderstanding and misinterpretation.
Read the CommCore Teaming Quarterly Vol. 16, from November 2020 for more details, including tips on how to engage both visual and kinesthetic learners when holding meetings online.
