Do you feel awkward in video meetings? Do your text messages get misunderstood? Do you worry about the tone you convey in your emails? Virtual communication can be tricky — unless you know the strategies to master it.

Professor Andrew Brodsky says virtual communication can help us grow closer and get more done once we understand the science behind it. Some of the things we talk about are:

• Why your texts and emails might be sending the wrong message (and how to fix them)
• What people really think of you when your message includes a typo
• Should you include emojis in messages?
• How to make a killer first impression during video meetings
• Small talk secrets that build trust in digital interactions
• Choosing the right communication mode—text, emails, calls, or video—for every situation.
• Eye-opening insights on body language and background cues in Zoom calls.
