We engaged Jill to do a Virtual workshop on how to effectively present oneself on virtual calls and presentations. It was the highest rated session of our conference. She expertly explained not only the nuances of virtual presentation skills but also the lighting, background, camera positioning and all the technical information necessary to appear professional in ones virtual presentations. Highly recommend Jill.
I had the pleasure of attending Jill’s webinar recently, and was amazed at how much I learned about delivering polished presentations. She not only had rich content, but her training method was extremely engaging and enjoyable. I highly recommend it!

Quiz Answers:

2. TRUE – Since the visuals you show are the most interesting thing that’s happening onscreen, consider doubling (or more) the number of slides you would normally present.
3. FALSE – As you speak, you should look directly into the camera lens, not at the thumbnail faces of the audience along the side.
4. FALSE – With online presentations, you should aim to engage your audience in some way every 4-5 minutes.
