Back2Better: How to Build Trust and Collaboration, No Matter the Distance with Erica Dhawan

During this unprecedented time of uncertainty, we are digitally collaborating faster and more often than ever before. We feel like we’re connected – but are we really? How do we lead, motivate, and collaborate effectively regardless the distance? How do we brainstorm, have difficult conversations and drive culture change digitally? And how do we sell and market without in person interactions?

In this session, Erica Dhawan will teach you the art and science of Digital Body Language – the key to silo-breaking collaboration, engagement and business results in our 21st century marketplace. This virtual masterclass will help you eliminate digital work challenges and build a culture of maniacal clarity that fosters the highest performing teams and business relationships. Most importantly, attendees will gain specific actions to inspire teamwork, innovation, resilience, and progress to emerge stronger and results-driven in this time of change.

Participants will leave this session with the ability to:

• Learn the digital body language signals and cues that you are broadcasting (even if you don’t intend to)
• Show others you understand their feelings and hear their ideas using digital empathy — even in emails, conference calls, video meetings, and IMs
• Build your brand, find your voice online and show virtual executive presence
• Grow trust and connection, no matter the distance
