Request for Assistance
I enjoy taping all of these episodes and cannot thank enough the good people who take the time to join me. In our episode titled "Journeys in healthcare, from Qatar to Cincinnati," Bob Feldbauer and I spoke for a short time about virtual meetings and losing the personal connection that you get from in-person meetings, especially through informal conversation before meetings begin. If you have a best practice that you have employed pre-meeting in the Virtual world to connect with attendees, please let me know at peter@gosselin-associates.com. Thank you!
