As the world went virtual (hybrid at best), 2020 was basically a learning curve in...how to use Zoom. Businesses around the world have had to adapt and (buzz word alert) pivot to accommodate the changing landscape of interaction. For some this meant learning to work from home, while for others, it marked a shift in their entire career. Such was the case for Garrett Blair, a virtual communication instructor, who took his 20+ year career in acting, directing, producing, and curriculum-development and transformed theater art concepts into his Live Video Conferencing (LVC) Training.
In this episode, Molly and Tricia pick Garrett’s brain to discover his top tricks to stand out as a public speaker on a virtual platform, how to maintain audience engagement and stay engaged when you’re the listener, and how to create your own “virtual handshake” (no sweaty grasp necessary).
Garrett Blair is on a mission to build an elite force of live virtual communicators who can leverage the medium to create a competitive advantage and influence change world-wide. With over 20 years of education, curriculum development, theatre/stage performance and direction experience, Garrett has developed revolutionary public speaking techniques and methodologies and is launching the Live Virtual Communication (LVC) Playbook - a complete guide to everything virtual. He trains corporate sales teams with members across the country, coaches speakers for TEDx events from Santa Barbara, CA to Waltham, MA., teaches online workshops, leads webinars, and works with private clients. Garrett believes that anyone with an idea can share it with confidence, authenticity, and the poise of a seasoned speaker.
