#005 The screen didn't make you boring, you probably already were - 3 insights for more engaging webinars and online meetings
Covid-19 took the world by storm and brought us a tornado of fake news, face masks, facetime and free webinars. Our screen became our only window to the world. Our only source of entertainment, information, company gossip and the closest thing we got to checking if our loved ones were doing ok. We started out apologizing in meetings for our kids in the background, not wearing any pants and that the laundry room became our office. But we quickly stopped caring and proudly added interchangeable backgrounds of beaches and pirate ships and were able to invite an actual alpaca to our Zoom calls. Just to spice things up. Because if there is one thing most online meetings and webinars have in common, is that they are often….boring. Want to know more, connect via IG @marnickvandebroek or go to www.standupcompany.com#standuptostandout
