Recommendation

This is a concise, direct, very practical handbook for organizing a videoconference and communicating effectively on camera. The tips on organization, preparation and choosing the right medium for your meeting are especially helpful and new. Many tips, especially about grooming, makeup and clothing, are so simple they border on simplistic, but for those who have no experience in media or performing (such as corporate executives), these clues could make the difference between success and failure. Authors Janelle Barlow, Peta Peter and Lewis Barlow back up their pointers with real-life anecdotes which reinforce their ideas quite convincingly and provide the book its only real entertainment value; otherwise it’s relentlessly practical. getAbstract.com found this book useful for anyone who is organizing or participating in a videoconference. When you’re on the air, you want to be in the know.

Take-Aways

  • Videoconferencing is a growing approach to collaborative meetings.
  • Videoconferences can save time and money, and can facilitate relationships within a firm and with clients.
  • Videoconferencing is not just another traditional meeting; it is a different medium.
