“Remember, the tools you use are only effective if they are used properly. Before your next virtual presentation, consider the following:
1. What tools are available for my virtual presentation?
2. Can I manage the tools alone, or do I need assistance?
3. What tools can be prepared in advance?4. What tools can I use in the moment?5. What tools will create the greatest impact?”
