Virtual Communication Skills You Need Now
Event Description
The modern workplace is in constant flux—navigating hybrid models, employee burnout, and persistent uncertainty. In this environment, clear communication isn't just a skill; it's a lifeline. Research shows that during times of change, employees with transparent leaders are 2.3x more likely to have high levels of trust.
This session is a high-impact, interactive lab designed to give you the tools to build that trust through a screen. The format is high-energy and hands-on — so please be sure to have your cameras on.

- Apply specific techniques to build psychological safety and foster trust in virtual and hybrid settings.
- Use practical tools to engage more effectively in meetings, team check-ins, and high-stakes presentations
- Leave with techniques they can apply in their very next virtual interaction
