Description
Videoconferencing is supposed to be the pandemic equivalent to in-person meetings, from meeting with a client to appearing before a judge. It is equivalent, in the sense that you can still meet or network “in-person,” but the person is encapsulated in a tiny square. It isn’t equivalent when you realize that most participants are sitting at home in the corner of their bedroom or at the dining room table surrounded by toys and dishes pushed out of sight, or in a corner of the family room as other family members come and go. They are not moving from their workspace to another room for the meeting. Instead, they are joining the meeting from the same device they work and play on, probably dressed in a work top and casual bottoms. The casualness and sameness of their locale invites distractions. Distractions offer the opportunity to forget to be professional. This webinar will discuss what it means to be “professional,” offer examples of lawyers being unprofessional, and offer some suggestions as to how to project professionalism online.
You will learn:
- How professionalism is defined
- Why it is important to always be professional in online meetings
- Examples of unprofessional behavior
- Tips for projecting professionalism
