Virtual Communication and the Power of Perception

As an online leader, teleworker, entrepreneur or virtual volunteer, the way that you communicate in non-face-to-face situations is vital to how you are perceived by your customers, team mates, and followers. In this presentation, Emma talks about how perception gets in the way of communication. She identifies how to recognize perception bias as both a communicator and a receiver, and what we can do to overcome bias so that we can have more productive and rewarding lives.
