We live and work in an increasingly digital world. From coaching to meetings, from training to events, more and more of our professional interactions are moving from the "real world" to the virtual realm. But while technology continues to evolve at lightning speed, much of our communication methodology is still stuck in the 20th century. The result? Miscommunication, disengagement, and lost time and productivity.
