Practice the technology first. Start the meeting early to ensure you’re set up. Use a second screen so you can easily see others’ video feeds.

Thank you!! I wish I had two screens, I’ve printed out notes so hopefully that helps

Def focus on the bigger picture. You have really the first 5 minutes to grab peoples attention before they drift off.

Have a drink

Xanax (jk) and practice in the mirror!

you can place your printed notes on your actual computer screen without covering up the camera and read from them without seeming to lose eye contact (but obviously practice first) - it helps to have that support in case you need it!

In my offer letter it is mentioned that any probationary employee should give 1 month written notice before leaving. So I am confused if it is 90 days or 1 month.
