This week’s Effective Virtual Conversations tip takes us into a core topic for virtual conversations – that of TRUST. Without Trust and Connection in a virtual conversation, it’s unlikely that people will engage. As I write in Effective Virtual Conversations, part of creating a more engaged conversation space is about building trust and connection.

Today’s post gets you to stop and consider these questions:
- What is helping TRUST in your virtual relationships?
- What is hindering TRUST in your virtual relationships?
Things may be further magnified in a virtual space given that we don’t see the “full picture”, only a small sliver of their world via the screen.
Some ways to boost trust in the virtual space might include:
- Taking time to share more about your work and how that relationship fits into it
- Making conversation touch points more frequent
- Including both formal and informal relationship building time
- Being intentional in creating agreements about how you will work together. This could include things like – how often will we communicate? What is the best way to communicate?
- Taking time to share more about yourselves (as appropriate)
Reducing Trust might include:
- Not following through
- Failing to provide appropriate information
- Not letting a partner know of something in a timely manner
- Not being clear in directions which leads to a faulty end result
What can build or erode trust with your partners?
Best wishes,
Jennifer
