Leveraging Up!
need more than just a phone call or text to conduct business. For
example, you may need to host a meeting with several members of
your team, or you may need to coordinate a video conference with
your Executive and other C-suite members from various remote
locations. Let’s look at some online tools you can use to keep these
communication lines open from anywhere using either a computer or
mobile device. (Not a comprehensive list.)
▪ Zoom—This app is rapidly becoming one of the most popular
video conferencing apps because it is so easy to use. People
can join you in a video conference simply by clicking a link.
Talk one-on-one or in groups.
▪ Slack—A great platform for teams and collaborations,
integrating chat, file sharing and phone/video chat in one
location.
▪ Cisco WebEx—Another excellent video collaboration tool
designed around a virtual “whiteboard” where call participants
can contribute ideas in real-time. (Think of it as a conference
room with a whiteboard, except online.)
▪ FaceTime—If you and your boss both use Apple devices,
FaceTime is a fast and easy way to video chat quickly one-
on-one.
▪ WhatsApp—A great lightweight tool for communicating
internationally via text, phone or video chat.
