Kassy’s 3 issues from today’s talk:
Issue 1. You are not using the features of the online training technology to your advantage.
Solution: Learn exactly how the technology works and then use it to create the “virtual non-verbal communication” you need!
Issue 2: You’re asking low level or leading questions which simply ask people to respond rather than to think.
Solution: Ask thoughtful, learning focused questions.
Issue 3: You’re not listening to their responses, and you’re missing coaching opportunities.
Solution: Facilitate thoughts and ideas rather than giving answers or simply encouraging interaction.
