HOW DO YOU RECREATE THE "MAGIC" OF IN-PERSON EVENTS ONLINE?
If you’ve had to suffer through a boring, uninspiring, unproductive Zoom call in the last few weeks, you might be skeptical about running your own virtual experiences. You might believe that it’s impossible to recreate moments of true human connection online, which was what I thought, too.
But then I ran a lot (and I mean A LOT) of social experiments online. From facilitating deep conversations with my Ask Deep Questions Connection Cards to hosting a Virtual Eye Gazing Experience and even attempting the World’s Largest Virtual Group Hug. And what I quickly realized, it is totally possible to leverage technology to bring people together.
It can be very challenging to make sure your attendees stay present (instead of replying to emails and surfing on social media in the background), and walk away with meaningful connections if you don’t know how to master the technology, create psychological safety, trust and intimacy at a distance.
