    About this ebook

    To adapt to a world where you can't meet face to face, with no air travel, conferences cancelled and teams working from home, leaders, experts, managers and professionals all need to master the skills of virtual communication. Written by the authors of The Master Communicator’s Handbook, this book tells you how to create impact with your on-screen presence, use powerful language to motivate listening, and design compelling visuals. You will also learn techniques to prevent your audience from losing attention, to keep them engaged from start to finish, and to create a lasting impact. The "Resilience Series" is the result of an intensive, collaborative effort of our authors in response to the 2020 coronavirus epidemic. Each volume offers expert advice for developing the practical, emotional and spiritual skills that you can master to become more resilient in a time of crisis.

      Resilience - Tim Ward

      What people are saying about

      Resilience: Virtually Speaking Communicating at a Distance

      I have worked with Tim and Teresa for over a decade, and have found their expertise invaluable in honing my leadership communications abilities. As more and more of our professional communication lives move online, I am thrilled that their new book focuses on this vital skills set for executives and leaders everywhere.

      Anne N. Kabagambe, Executive Director at the World Bank Group

      Tim and Teresa scrubbed me of acronyms and schooled me to making everything more relevant and real to my audience. We’ve engaged them in training our leaders and I’ve seen a watershed difference in bringing our work to life.

      Carter Roberts, President and CEO, World Wildlife Fund

      I’ve seen Teresa and Tim’s techniques at work with my leadership team, with transformational results. They’ve helped us communicate with clarity, purpose and vision.

      Donald Kaberuka, Former President, Africa Development Bank

      Coronavirus quarantine has changed all the rules and left many people befuddled about how to communicate and present from their kitchens. Virtually Speaking – Communicating at a Distance is an excellent guide to successful engagement while we are unable to gather in person. In fact, global pandemic or not, this book should be required reading for anyone who needs to communicate with others – all of us!

      Alan J. Thornhill, Director, Pacific Ecological Systems Division, Environmental Protection Agency

      The habits that made us successful in person or on the phone often work against us when communicating via video. Teresa and Tim understand that. Their book is a practical and effective guide for communicating and influencing in a world in which video is crucial for success.

      Mark A. Jamison, Director, Public Utility Research Center, University of Florida

      Virtually Speaking is an impeccably timed guide for anyone communicating virtually during the worldwide pandemic of 2020 – which means just about anyone with an Internet connection. It is both practical and pertinent, offering powerful tips to enhance one’s meaningful engagement with others communicating at a distance. I have no doubt that this latest treasure from the enlightened publishers at Changemakers Books will long outlive the COVID-19 crisis, and continue to serve as an essential resource for web-based meetings and teleconferencing for many years to come.

      Bart W. Édes, Representative, North America, Asian Development Bank

      Teresa and Tim are genuine masters. They have helped me enormously over the years.

      Dr. Wade Davis, author of Into the Silence and BC Leadership Chair in Cultures and Ecosystems at Risk, University of British Columbia
