Hi, I'm Nicki - joining from Manchester

Hi Nicki

Hi Becca

Thx!

Ha ha, Jo, we didn't hear a thing....

Mastering Conversation is the winning paper in Roffey Park’s Val Hammond Research Competition. Read it here: https://www.theconversationspace.com/our‐thinking/mastering‐conversation/

It's true - do you have virtual relationships with people that you've never met in person?

That link came up with a 404 code Jo.

ok

Mike - can you check that link please, I can't go to the web as it will show on my screen share

it's on their website somewhere you should be able to see it

Working on it!

I think on our thinking

arg - sorry. On the website, our thinking, ‘mastering conversation’

This is so true - people gather numbers of people rather than quality connections.

Think about that human connection point... we haven't put our videos on yet. How does that feel to you?

Mmm interesting to consider Jo

@Michelle Yes! They think that the more you throw the more you'll hit the fan

Nice lipstick, Jo ;)

lol

One to one is very different to a group virtual meeting - will you be covering the dificulties that brings?

Liz, tell us more

Great video and sound quality on here! Zoom is great!

Thanks kim

getting the chance to speak - speaking over others

Liz, does video help with not talking over people? You can see the same way as face to face?

yes it would help

yet at the same time i LOVE online for giving a voice to quiet people in the chat - we can all talk at the same time.

yes exactly

Yes, it can really balance a group or team in terms of their contributions

Jo, you have done a lot of work on virtual body language - can that help with what Catherine is talking about?

Jo also wrote a blog about Digital Body Language - https://lightbulbmoment.info/2018/04/04/what-is-digital-body-language/

For meetings it really depends on what you are wanting to achieve, how many people are in the "team" and how well the technology part is managed. It could be four or five, or it could be hundreds.

and that people are human!

We've all got our video on now as we were having our conversation, and still do. What benefit has that been for you? Or not?

In this context, I prefer it. Helps me know who is talking, as all female voices.

yes def

agree

makes it more memorable

:D

Totally beneficial to see you - in fact I’d like video bigger and slides smaller. It’s so much more personable to see the person. As Jo says more human connection rather than when you only listening it feels like you listen to a robot or machine.

thanks rob

I agree Rob, bigger video and smaller slides - in this context.

I like seeing the person behind the voice

What I've done on here is maximise the videos and minimise the slides - I didn't realise Zoom did this until today.

Thanks Helen, yes there are lots of options for the viewer

sounds good!
