In a virtual presentation, there’s a huge barrier in that you can’t see the audience. You’re operating with no data about their reaction to you.
It takes work at the beginning to continue to use these skills after the Communication training when you’re living in a world that doesn’t have them. The payoff is an exhilarating life.
