The key to remote communication is being deliberate, says Frank Sloopman. You can have slept really bad the night before or you might just come from a conversation like another meeting that was incredibly tough and reset your frame of mind. In real life, if you were deliberate in real life, you would come across quite disingenuous if you walk out that meeting room and now joke all of a sudden with someone on the floor when you just had a serious conversation.
