About the video: Presenting Online
Overview
“I cover the unique considerations for delivering an effective online talk. It begins with selecting the best platform, like Zoom, for its robust functionalities, and ensuring your technology—such as a stable Wi-Fi connection, mic, and camera—is properly prepared and tested. You will learn to create a distraction-free background, maintain engagement through interactive elements and breakout rooms, and provide clear instructions for managing questions. I also emphasize adaptability in the face of potential technical issues and the importance of follow-up materials and networking opportunities, such as sharing your LinkedIn in the chat.”
In this video lesson Dasha Dollar-Smirnova addresses the topic: Presenting Online, which is part of the Domestika online course: Master the Art of Public Speaking. Learn to overcome fear, find your voice, and communicate effectively in any professional or personal setting.
