Currently, almost all of my clients are experiencing this difficulty<\/span>\u202f<\/span>: how to have <\/span>effective<\/span> communication at a distance.<\/span> That is, communication that is relevant, that is <\/span>mobilizing<\/span> and that does not take up all day!<\/span> By remote communication, I mean <\/span>the use of software such as Zoom, Teams or <\/span>Hangout or phone.<\/span><\/p>\n This article presents the four criteria for effective communication at a distance as well as <\/span>the pitfalls<\/span> to avoid<\/span>.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n First, the<\/span>frequency<\/span> of communication needed <\/span>a few weeks after the onset of an attack may be different<\/span> from the one you used at the beginning of the seizure!<\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n For example, here is what an optimal<\/span> <\/span> frequency might look like about 3 weeks after the onset of the attack:<\/span><\/p>\n Managers<\/span>\u202f<\/span>: be careful with <\/span>patterns. <\/span><\/i>Forexample, when<\/span>the same problems <\/span>are mentioned during meetings, without a solution<\/span> <\/span>applied<\/span>.<\/span> The next article will be about difficult conversations, both in-person and remotely. If you have not yet subscribed to the Unique coaching newsletter, do so <\/a> <\/span>here<\/span><\/a> so you don’t miss anything! <\/span><\/p>\n Secondly, your<\/span>encounters could <\/span> be shorter and shorter. L <\/span>Most<\/span>people <\/span>have mastered<\/span> the new tools<\/span>.<\/span><\/span> <\/span>U<\/span>a routine has set in. Take advantage of this to get straight to the point in your communications. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Online, the attention span is 7 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n In addition, you have to be dynamic<\/span> AND<\/span> <\/span>focused on the agenda.<\/span> So, vary. Do not exceed a total duration of 2 hours. <\/span><\/p>\n If necessary, use online collaborative tools such as Mural, Miro <\/span>or others according to your needs. This way, you can energize the meetings during which you need to contribute! <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Then, if you still have technological challenges: several tutorials exist online, free of charge. S Inon platforms as such offer support and training materials, invest 30 minutes in that, you’ll save tons more. It’s a good investment, teleworking will continue! I preach \ud83d\ude09 <\/span><\/p>\n A meeting must have an agenda. This agenda must be communicated in advance and its content must be addressed to all those included in the meeting. <\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n Finally, s<\/span>The people relevant to the meeting must be part of it. Indeed, a person who has no interest can turn off his camera, <\/span>Read and answer questions <\/span>emails, etc. In doing so, it is as if she were giving <\/span>Permission<\/span> for others to do it, and wham, you’ve just lost other people’s attention.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n As you can see, the sign that does not lie about the effectiveness of your communications<\/span>\u202f<\/span>: loss of interest<\/span>. <\/span> The four criteria for effective remote communication<\/span><\/h2>\n
