🏢 🏗 Guess what? - I am back in New York City to attend Zoom Perspectives, an analyst gathering hosted by Zoom. 🏛 🏨 And this time, I am in a new role as Chief Analyst and Founder of Collab Collective Insights and Strategy. (more to come on this new venture in a few weeks) The last time I interviewed Zoom executives was at Zoomtopia in October, so there is a lot to catch up on. And who better to hear from than Theresa Larkin, Global Marketing Lead for Zoom Workplace, and Jeff Smith, Head of Product—Meetings and Spaces? My conversation covers topics such as AI integration, Zoom Workplace, and Zoom's future roadmap. It also delves into the application of AI in the meeting and work experience and the evolution of open, collaborative spaces. Some Highlights - ✨ Zoom Perspectives provided "awesome" insights into AI integration, Zoom Workplace, and the future roadmap of Zoom. ✨ The application of AI in the meeting and work experience is a key focus for Zoom. ✨ Zoom sees how open, collaborative spaces are evolving and is focused on optimizing productivity for flex workers. ✨ The conversation highlights the significance of physical spaces in encouraging productivity and collaboration.

When Covid arrived, being a global keynote speaker suddenly didn't appear to be such a desirable profession. "Pivot" became the business word du jour, so, like many others, I did, and went virtual. However, initially it was hard. Live events allow you to "read a room" and build relationships, but to do that over a video call takes a big, conscious effort - and a lot of extra energy; it was a steep learning curve. Change takes effort but the advantages are apparent. With our new ways of working, Iet's celebrate the opportunities virtual events can bring: 🌎 Wide geographic spread 🏠 Inclusion for hybrid teams 🎥 Recordable events that can be referenced and re-purposed 🎬 Using recordings when it's difficult to schedule events for the whole team/workforce 🖥 Using tech to provide transcripts and sub-titles 🎤 Developing video technology...... Still using a "low-tech" stand for my laptop though to ensure the correct eye level! Some things don't change! Lovely feedback from a virtual session earlier this week. "Thank you so much for an incredibly powerful and engaging session this afternoon. We’ve had lovely comments and fantastic feedback!" #compassionateleadership #keynotespeaker #virtualevents
