Getting Beyond Hello

We’ve all gone to networking events where we meet and mingle only to feel as though we’ve squandered our time. But have we actually sat down and considered why we felt so strongly? What was it about ourselves, others, or even the situation that made us feel that way?

Many of us isolated ourselves and withdrew from social interactions in 2020. We were forced to converse online, which has presented its own set of issues. Visual cues account for 75% of communication. These hints are missing if you can’t see the individual or if the image is cropped or distorted due to a bad connection. Is it any surprise, then, that in this new virtual world, we don’t feel like we get much further than saying “Hello” to others? Or that we are subjected to misunderstandings?
