Early this year a transition started from face-to-face gatherings to virtual meetings.
In-person meetings bring a level of connection and trust that is difficult to get in virtual meetings.
Nonverbal cues are important for the right impact in the virtual meetings.
1.First impression
Judgment is made about attitude, confidence, professional status, and personal warmth.
Face to face meeting. Impression is made by your physical energy, the way you carry yourself, gestures, eye contact and the pitch of your voice. First impression is made in about 7 sec.
Virtual meeting. It is gathered mainly from the facial expressions. It is much faster in hundreds of milliseconds. Have a pleasing, interested expression and enter the meet with correct expression.
