Hello Reader,
As you might know, I teach professional speakers how to lead better Zoom meetings. I do this through games and interactive activities.
Tomorrow, I'm leading a Zoom Games Happy Hour for Certified Virtual Presenters. If you are in this Facebook group, then you are invited, and you can RSVP at that link.
I'm also teaching another cohort of the eSpeakers Virtual Host Certification next week, September 22-23, 1-4:30 pm Pacific time.
