Show Up Strong: Virtual Communication Skills Your Teams Need Now (June 12, 2026)

ATD GREATER BOSTON PRESENTS:

Show Up Strong: Virtual Communication Skills Your Teams Need Now

with

Francisco Ramirez

June 12, 2026

12:00 to 1:00 PM

Virtual event - link in registration email

Your camera is lying.

It's quietly hurting how your team comes across, the impact they make, and the results they get — one meeting at a time.

86% of professionals are in virtual meetings every single day — yet most teams have never been taught how to actually show up on screen. That gap is measurable: those who master virtual communication generate 4.9x more revenue than peers who haven't. The screen is where your team wins — or loses.

This session is a hands-on virtual communication clinic — 100% shaped by what you tell us in advance. Practical tools. Real-time application. Techniques your teams can use in every virtual meeting, team check-in, and high-stakes presentation.

In the session, you will find that even the smallest adjustments in how your team shows up on screen can completely change how people respond to them.

By the end of this session, participants will:

- Apply small but high-impact shifts to project presence and clarity on screen

- Reflect on current virtual habits — and what to adjust immediately

- Use practical frameworks to engage more effectively in meetings and high-stakes presentations

- Leave with techniques they can apply in their very next virtual interaction
