How to Keep People From Dozing Off During Online Meetings

In an algorithm-challenging break from advice I'd give clients, I'm posting something that's important to me on a Friday, rather than waiting until a Tuesday to Thursday... Recently, I had the very real pleasure of speaking with Andy Green FRSA FCIPR, the driving force behind the ‘Dublin Conversation’, a grassroots initiative focused on transforming how PR and communications can succeed in the 21st century. Andy's recorded our chat, and written up the discussion, and I've included a link to my chat with Andy in the comments below. The calibre and quality of the people Andy's spoken to as part of this series is amazing - industry leaders, experts and thinkers like Stuart Bruce, Richard Bailey of PR Academy Ltd, Alex Aiken, Shannon Walker, founder of Social Disruption, Dr. Paul Willis, Visiting Professor at Huddersfield and Leeds Beckett Universities, Graham Goodkind of Frank and Professor Anne Gregory. I'm just a fat lad with a big gob from a council estate in Bournemouth. These are industry experts that I'm privieleged to be featured amongst. If you want to hear and read more, there's two things you can do: 1. Take a look at the wider Conversations Blog, which features all the interviews with all the fine folk I've mentioned above, and many, many more. It's an an amazing resource. 2. Go to the upcoming #ConversationsFest 2023 event in Sligo! Conversations Fest is part of the Dublin Conversations series, and is a weekend conference from Friday September 29th to Sunday October 1st in Sligo, Ireland. Described by Andy as a conference of three halves, there will be time to discover profound new learning, tools, and inspirations; presentations from leading academics and practitioners from around the world to co-create new ways ahead; and probably the best craic of any learned occasion anywhere. More details on the image below, and on the Dublin Conversations website (link also in comments). Thanks for featuring me, Andy, and look forward to reading and hear more of the Dublin Conversations in future! #PublicRelations #Communications #PREvent #PRConferece

We have taken on many different subjects at the Academy of Professional Dialogue conference over the last 6 years. I think this is the most immediately relevant to pretty much everyone. Who isn’t in or working with a team? I don’t think I’m giving away any secrets to say I’ll be there in some role or another! #teamwork #professionaldevelopment
