Robbie Samuels: Connecting in a virtual world

How do you connect in a virtual world?

The virtual world was thrust upon us all with the pandemic and it has since become a way of working life. That doesn’t mean everyone makes their virtual work engaging, inspiring and thought provoking. Robbie Samuels is the perfect guest to talk to about creating virtual events people will remember.

He talks about the challenges we all face working in virtual environments, from the sessions themselves to how we can have those sensitive conversations with team members. He busts myths around the virtual working experience and what you can do to ensure your team sees the value in them. He gives the fundamental things we need to remember to make the audience experience an enjoyable one from the technical setup to the body language we use.

“I need people to recognise that sometimes virtual is the optimal option.” – Robbie Samuels
