Envision a virtual meeting that feels as if you're sitting across from someone having a cup of coffee. Impossible? Not anymore.

Look Me In the Eye reveals how actors, television reporters, and digital influencers build personal relationships through the screen—and how to apply these same skills to your virtual meetings, video calls, or recordings!

Many relationships never progress past "you're on mute." Why? Essential qualities you may easily convey in person, like trust, empathy, and authenticity, get lost on video.
