WMPMI's monthly lunchtime meeting is a one-PDU event featuring a speaker that presents on a topic from the PMI Talent Triangle. 

Keeping the Virtual Audience Engaged

The need to conduct online meetings successfully is a demand that will survive the current state of the job market. Leading product demonstrations, managing team culture, and presenting content to a virtual audience requires fluency with both modern concepts and time-tested speaking skills. In this presentation, we will cover the importance of knowing your audience, knowing your message, and knowing your technology with tips on how to navigate the new normal.
