Today closes out week three of working from home. In that three weeks I have had a virtual meeting at least once everyday. At this point I think I have been on every major platform there is for virtual meetings, from Zoom to GoToMeeting, and even Microsoft Teams. With that being said I think I have nailed the virtual meeting or at the very least I have adapted well to my new normal.
In any case I have a few tips for looking your best on screen and some might surprise you.
Top 5 WFH Virtual Meeting Tips
Tip #1: I shared my first tip on Instagram last week and it is wearing a killer top. In most of these meetings you are sitting down so all folks see is you from either the waist up or the chest up.
Sporting a smart top with your leggings, sweats, shorts or comfy linen pants makes you look sophisticated while you are super comfortable. This pretty pink appliqué blouse does the trick and once we head back to the office you can wear it there too. Shop it and some other ready for work blouses below.
Tip #2: Make sure you do your hair. Lets be honest, now that all we can see is each others faces hair is much more important. There is nothing to distract folks from a bad hair day now so brush your hair, put on a headband or throw it up into a slick ponytail. And if you are a natural like me either twist your locks or throw on a pretty head scarf if you can't be bothered. It just helps you to look more polished.
Pro Tip: Throw on a pair of earrings too. It makes feel more like a work meeting even though you are sitting at you kitchen table.
Tip #3: Go to the bathroom. I ALWAYS go to the bathroom right before the meeting. That way my bladder is empty and my mind won't start wandering because I need to go to the bathroom and the meeting is running long.
Tip #4: Login early. I try to login at least 5-10 minutes early. That way I can check the connection and make sure I look good on camera. I hate to be late to a meeting that I just have to call into or to have to fight with my camera to work while the meeting is in progress. Now I'm normally late to everything but this shouldn't be one of them.
Tip #5: Have your drink of choice near by. Mine is usually coffee, of course. But make sure you have your water, coffee, cocktail (I won't tell on you), Kombucha close so that you don't have to get up during the meeting. If you were in the office you probably wouldn't get up in the middle of the meeting to get a drink. Treat this meeting with the same respect.
