On Wednesday, an MSL leader vented to us for 10 straight minutes.
What about?
His team.
Specifically, how they looked half-asleep during their last virtual meeting.
Cameras off.
Slouched in chairs.
And he swore two of them were checking Facebook.
“I get it,” he said. “We’re all tired of Zoom and Teams. But come on. THIS is how we show up?”
Here’s the truth:
We’ve all gotten a little lazy with virtual meetings.
But virtual is NOT going away.
And if you want to be known for excellence, you can’t afford to look disengaged, distracted, or disinterested on screen.
Every virtual meeting is a moment of influence.
If you’re not using it, you’re losing it.

► A clear, practical 10-step system to help you command the screen and connect with power.

The First 5 Minutes Are Everything
According to Zippia, 67% of professionals are multitasking during virtual meetings.
That means you’ve got seconds to:
→ Build a connection
→ Create trust
→ Set the tone
One tip you can use today:
🛑 Never start with your slides on.
This is your moment to build rapport. Keep your face big on the screen. Make eye contact. Let them feel your presence before the data begins.
