Some explanations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/h8TrRbbxlls\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesse Hirsh is a former technological analyst for the BBC. He is now an independent searcher, interested in the impacts digital technologies have on the society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent video, published on his YouTube account, he brilliantly explains how a manager can raise their employees&#8217; engagement by changing how they see these meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab As a former mediatic figure, I recognise that everytime you\u2019re on a camera, it\u2019s a performance, it\u2019s a show. that being in front of a camera is always a show, a performance. Instead of seeing your virtual meetings as if they are meetings, what if they are entertainment? What if they are a show in the same way that a play, or a radio drama or a tv show has a script, has characters, has direction and rehearsal and stage craft? It reflects that you can never take someone\u2019s attention for granted. \u00bb<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesse Hirsh believes managers looking for better technological tools to improve their meetings are wrong. According to him, communication is more about culture and \u00ab\u00a0performance \u00bb (as in the theatrical way).<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab As a performer, you have got the responsibility to respect that attention, and make sure that your audience is engaged. Make sure that they get the things that they want to keep them interested \u00bb, he adds.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meetings should never be \u00ab dull \u00bb or \u00ab annoying \u00bb, he insists. In fact, they should create \u00ab excitement \u00bb, be high points during an employee\u2019s day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Treats for your teams<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Planning more entertaining meetings is a nice idea. But how? Jesse Hirsh gives some advice on how to achieve this goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first piece of advice is to plan, to prepare content (like \u00ab treats \u00bb in your pocket, as Jesse Hirsh explains in his video) for \u00ab\u00a0whoever might show up. \u00bb<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab\u00a0You always get that person who really needs attention and who really needs to say what they need to say. So it\u2019s good to have a script for them, it\u2019s good to anticipate. \u00bb<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadly speaking, the expert recalls some basic communication techniques, like an healthy mix of knowledge and emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Managers can either give out strategic information, or flatter a colleague\u2019s ego, depending on the circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab You need to have their attention. You need to find ways in which you can have a sort of \u00ab treats \u00bb in your pocket, that ensure that their attention is there, but also so that when they start making noise, you\u2019re able to give them a little bit of content, or knowledge, a little bit of love, so that they are able to participate and engage in the way that you feel is necessary. \u00bb<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jesse Hirsh\u2019s idea is not for managers to put even more pressure on themselves, now that they have to \u00ab perform \u00bb during meetings, but to properly plan them. To write future exchanges, in some way.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00ab What\u2019s the story of your meeting? What\u2019s the narrative arc that you\u2019ve produced for your event? These are things people in show-business thing about all the time. We shouldn\u2019t take for granted that to keep and hold someone\u2019s attention requires a diverse offering. \u00bb<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And when we don\u2019t have anything else to say, or when you don\u2019t have any more treats in your pockets, he concludes, maybe that\u2019s a good time to end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Our Zoom series&#8217; articles :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"page-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/dossier-fatigue-zoom-1-3-lepuisement-se-confirme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoom series [1-3] : fatigue confirmed<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"page-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/dossier-fatigue-zoom-2-3-alternatives-a-la-videoconference\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Zoom series [2-3] : 3 video conference alternatives<\/a><\/p>\n<h6>Photo credits : Andrea Piacquadio \/ Pexels<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jess Hirsh gives precious tips to managers who wish to raise their employee\u2019s attention during virtual meetings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":81009,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[7],"tags":[11,8,10,9],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80361"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80361"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80361\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81633,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80361\/revisions\/81633"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/81009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80361"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80361"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/isarta.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80361"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
