Digital Body Language: How to Build Trust and Connection, No Matter the Distance

2021 Talent Conference & Expo
Attendees will learn the new rules of collaboration in a digital workplace.

Whether your team works on separate floors, buildings, homes or even countries, we have to connect differently in order to collaborate. New misunderstandings are happening all day, every day. They're reducing your employee engagement, morale and team performance each time. In this session, you will learn how to master digital body language, the new cues and signals that make up the subtext of our messages, led by collaboration expert Erica Dhawan.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand your collaboration style and what digital body language signals you are broadcasting (even if you don't intend to).
  • Understand how to create cultures of maniacal clarity in e-mail, phone, IM, text, video mediums and even live meetings in the new normal.
  • Develop a collaboration strategy to create the highest performing teams.
