About this audiobook
The essential guide for when (and how best) to use virtual communication tools, from video to instant messaging and everything in between.
Award-winning professor, management consultant, and virtual communications expert Andrew Brodsky is here to tell you that, yes, that meeting could have been an email. And that email? Maybe it should have been a voice note (really!). And your camera—it’s okay to turn it off; sometimes it’s even better.
If you’re crushed under the weight of your inbox or exhausted from back-to-back-to-back video calls, then Ping is here to help workers at all levels and of all stripes—remote, hybrid, and in person—who use communication technologies as part of their jobs. Split into three parts, this book tackles the core components of how to better navigate communication challenges and technology in contemporary workplaces. Brodsky addresses critical topics such as:
-When to choose an email, instant message, or video call
-How to make better virtual first impressions
-Methods for optimizing communication productivity
-How to build strong relationships at a distance
-Ways to win negotiations and solve conflicts from behind a screen
-And more
With enlightening stories, interviews with top business leaders, and Brodsky’s cutting-edge social science research on virtual communication tools, Ping is the necessary playbook for mastering virtual communication to increase productivity, gain influence, and deepen connections.

Origin of the alphabet; number line, computer is the same place. There isn't a calendar without a programmer; different ones in society are for companies to supply basic utilities; motor vehicles, food clothes & shelter. Computer programs give the answers to outstanding questions; humans do not. They also drive all artificial moving objects; humans do not. One program designs all the building and a different one does cars; the program includes after they are built schedules for them and us. Cameras are a derivative of computer separate from video recorder for unreal pictures and photograph obstructing justice to disappear or vanish includes video tapes & DVD's.
