Mz La Gioia, nice job on this great “reminding” article I shared with my colleagues, a good article to read to keep awareness since several listed items are things we probably already know to be true but the act of keeping current on them is useful. The unique thought was his one that I asked my colleagues to consider
“Emotions are expressed and received mostly through nonverbal cues, which are largely missing from text-based communication.”https://careerpowerup.comvirtual-communication-mistakes-make-you-look-bad/

Hi Jamie,
You’re so right; most of these are common sense. But like most common sense, they don’t teach it in schools. 🙂 As the article showed, I’ve lacked in it, too. I think it’s good for everyone to have a reminder. Especially as communication does become more remote, and we interact more and more with people we’ll never personally meet.And, yes, communication is largely non-verbal. We have to adjust and figure out how we can convey things like sincerity, warmth, empathy, and other important soft skills through hardware.
Thank you for your feedback!
Pamela
