Virtual Communication Skills You Need Now

With most of our work continuing to happen on screen—in fact, the 2024 ATD State of the Industry reports that 68% of organizations are using live, instructor-led virtual classrooms and 55% of organizations are using hybrid learning solutions—people need to show up in virtual settings stronger than ever. Even the smallest of adjustments in how we show up on screen can completely change how people respond to us.

This session is a live, interactive “virtual communication clinic” — no stale PowerPoint slides, just practical tools and real-time application.

Participants will explore 2–3 simple techniques to help them show up more clearly, confidently, and effectively in virtual meetings and presentations. These techniques are based on subtle but powerful habits that build trust and authority on screen — and they’re immediately usable.

A quick hello from Francisco Ramirez.

The format is high-energy and hands-on. Whether attendees are delivering feedback, leading teams, or speaking under pressure, they’ll walk away with tangible skills they can apply the very same day.

By the end of this session, participants will:

- Apply small but high-impact shifts to project presence and clarity on screen

- Reflect on their current virtual habits — and what to adjust immediately

- Use practical tools to engage more effectively in meetings, team check-ins, and high-stakes presentations
