Play Games with me on Zoom?
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.

Here's what some people have said about this live, interactive training program:
I know I've been talking about marketing a lot these last few months (with the launch of my book Marketing Yourself, and all) but I do still spend a lot of time leading and facilitating virtual events. I recently put together a new Speaker Reel to showcase some of my work:

If you've got an interesting thought or idea on the topic, hit reply, I'd love to know what you think. Or, come to one of these events:
- Zoom Games Happy Hour, Friday 9/16 1pm PT
- Virtual Host Certification, Th-Fr 9/22-23 1-3:30pm PT

🧭 “The purpose of meetings is not to talk – the purpose of meetings is to arrive at ideas, solutions, plans, and decisions.” - Alexander Kjerulf Hello Reader, I have tried all the AI meeting notetakers over the past few years. Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, Monologue, and more have all had a turn in my systems. Traditionally, I give them a month or two, and get dissatisfied at some feature or annoying user friction - until six months ago. I found Granola. (Disclaimer: by clicking my affiliate...
⏩ "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb Hello Reader, An AI Working Group ships projects. Tools are changing faster than humans can keep up. Most teams and organisations are throwing Copilot or Claude licenses to their crew, with a quick 'good luck!' and maybe an inscrutable warning about token counts.
