<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Communicating virtually is cool, useful, and becoming more universal every day. But the actual communication is often quite bad. Indeed, everyone agrees that the quality of human connection we feel in virtual meetings, email, and other forms of virtual communication is awful. Worse than boring, virtual communication very often leads to misunderstandings, because it deprives us of the emotional knowledge that helps us understand context. How can we fix this? A key problem is that we are busy trying to replicate the experience of a face-to-face meeting in the virtual world, assuming the same rules apply. That is a big mistake. We need to shift our focus and energy to a new challenge, unique to the virtual era. As communication expert Nick Morgan argues in this essential book, recent research suggests that we need to learn to consciously deliver a whole set of cues, both verbal and nonverbal, that we used to deliver unconsciously in the previrtual era. Indeed, we need to update all our rules of connection for the virtual sphere, rethinking them from the beginning and avoiding the mistake of assuming that they are inherently similar to face-to-face connections. Can You Hear Me? explains and guides you through this important process, describing what the current research reveals about what works and what doesn't in virtual communications, and creating a new set of rules and practical tips for how to connect with people--your team, your audience, your organization--when you can't be physically present. If you work or manage in an organization that has more than one office or customers who aren't nearby, Can You Hear Me? is your essential communications manual for twenty-first-century work.--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A <i>Washington Post</i> Bestseller</b></p><p><b>Your manual for remote and virtual work</b></p><p>Communicating virtually is cool, useful, and now even more ubiquitous and necessary than ever. But we're often reminded that the quality of human connection we experience in many forms of virtual communication is awful. We've all felt disconnected in a video conference, frustrated that we're not getting through on the phone, upset when our email is badly misinterpreted, or anxious that we're being misunderstood.</p><p>How can we fix this? In this powerful, practical book, communication expert Nick Morgan outlines five big problems with communication in the virtual world—lack of feedback, lack of empathy, lack of control, lack of emotion, and lack of connection and commitment—and shows how to overcome them as we shift to working remotely more and more.</p><p>Morgan argues that while virtual communication will never be as rich or intuitive as a face-to-face meeting, recent research suggests that we need to learn is to <i>consciously</i> deliver a whole set of cues, both verbal and nonverbal, that we used to deliver <i>unconsciously</i> in the pre-virtual era. He guides us through this important process, providing rules for virtual feedback, an empathy assessment and virtual temperature check, tips for creating trust in a virtual context, and advice for specific digital channels such as email and text, the conference call, Skype, and more.</p><p>Whether you're an entrepreneur, an independent professional, or a manager in an organization that has more than one office or customers who aren't nearby, <i>Can You Hear Me?</i> is your essential communications manual for twenty-first-century work.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Advance Praise for <b><i>Can You Hear Me?</i></b>: </p><p><b>David Meerman Scott, bestselling author, <i>The New Rules of Marketing and PR</i>--</b><br>A few years ago, the promise of virtual communications seemed like some sort of utopia.
