Coaching: Zooming to Better Human Connection and Success in Belonging
Coaching: Zooming to Better Human Connection and Success in Belonging
Zooming that works with your brain in belonging instead of against it!
There’s a way to do your one-on-one and group Zoom meetings that leaves you energized and better connected. Where you provide the clarity and feeling your people need to move forward in trusting belonging and accountability, instead of stalling between fear and aspiration.
Being the humans that we are, we need to give and receive relational signals that build connection, clarity, and trust, that is, belonging. (Hint: looking down your nose at somebody rarely creates the bond that takes us to unite and fight, versus fight/flight.)
Looks like working over video is here to stay, so I’m here to help you set yourself up for an easier and better way going forward. Would you like to stop your unintentional sending and receiving of wrong signals that leave you and your teams fatigued and unclear about your paths ahead?
