Ever looked around your Zoom meeting and realized everyone’s dead inside? The virtual meeting apocalypse is real. But don’t worry—we’ve got your survival kit.
Tips:
- Make someone the meeting DJ — Kick off with a 15-second song clip and crown your DJ of the Day. No one’s sleeping through Beyoncé.
- Use GIF check-ins — Ask “how’s everyone doing” and have people respond with a GIF in chat. It’s team therapy with pixels.
- 2-Minute Stretch Breaks — Yes, your camera can stay off. Your body and brain will thank you.
- Ban the phrase “circle back” — Replace it with “let’s actually deal with this.” It’s chaotic good energy.
- Use a rotating facilitator — Everyone runs one meeting a month. Empathy skyrockets when people have to prep.
