Optimising your online Presence - November meeting

It was a full house during the Consult Yorkshire November meeting.

With Yorkshire and the rest of England in the middle of Lockdown 2.0, our Zoom networking event was busy from the get go.

Following on from the warm informal chat and introductions - group members and visitors moved onto our ‘Skills Share’ session.

This month we were treated to a timely presentation on the topic of ‘Optimising your online presence’. 

Delivered by CY members Jane Fisher & Sharon Stacey, the session addressed the challenges that have arisen from the often forced transition to online meetings & training during the Covid 19 pandemic.

Sharon approached the subject from the perspective of vocal health and projection. Participants were encouraged to practice warm up exercises and body posture techniques that can aid both the projection of the voice in the online workspace & the long-term health of the vocal cords and folds.

Jane addressed the subject regarding the potential physiological & psychological downsides of being sat down, staring at the screen for long periods of time. In particular, highlighting the symptoms of digital eye strain and the negative outcomes of poor body posture.

If you would like to dig a little deeper into the subject of ‘Optimising your online Presence’, both Sharon & Jane can be contacted via their profile pages on the Consult Yorkshire website.

Alternatively, if you are a Yorkshire-based freelancer or independent consultant do get in touch. You’re welcome to attend our monthly meetings, held from 09:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month or join us for the current casual ‘Coffee Break’ catch-up every Wednesday at 11:00 a.m.
