How can we maintain our sanity while staring at the same screen all day, clicking into and bouncing out of meetings? To be successful in today's (remote) world, we must learn how to relate to individuals virtually. Join us for this 'Choose Your Own (Virtual) Adventure' session during which the webinar attendees will direct the subtopics to be addressed by the remote panelists (i.e., polling will be enabled in real time during the session). You will participate in topics based on the audience vote, some of which include: How can we best establish a professional and dynamic presence while working remotely? How can we develop and maintain solid rapport with our virtual colleagues as well as with those working in the office? What is considered to be appropriate etiquette when interacting with a co-worker via a computer screen? How can we effectively collaborate on technical and non-technical content while working from home? What is the best way to present to senior management without the ability to be in the room to read their body language? Hear from a panel of actuaries discuss their perspectives and lessons learned over the last few years on how to optimize our communication effectiveness in the virtual work environment.
By attending the session, you will be able to:
- Recognize the differences in engaging with individuals remotely vs. in person.
- Understand how to establish a remote presence.
- Describe techniques to build virtual relationships.
- Navigate virtual situations with the appropriate etiquette.
