Peer Roundtable: Conveying & Reading Emotions Remotely

WHY THIS TOPIC:

The hardest part of communicating in the remote workplace might be reading other people’s emotions. And if it’s hard for us, it’s hard for them. That results in a dramatically lower ability to build empathy, both in the moment of interaction and over time with the relationship.

Join us as we discuss this fascinating challenge, and the strategies and tactics your fellow Junto members are trying to use to overcome it.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• Shared experiences from other remote workers on what has worked and not worked for them
• Why emojis and icons just don’t do the trick
• How and why we must communicate differently over video

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE:

• Someone who spends a healthy portion of your day in video meetings
• Trying to build your emotional intelligence skills
• Finding yourself disengaged during, or not wanting to attend, team meetings and town halls
• A natural empath who is struggling in the remote environment
