How to Show Up if you will be joining on Zoom

Please make every effort to meet in person however, I will continue to offer Zoom as an option for those exposed or who have COVID-19, those on vacation, traveling or who have a special circumstance.


  • Cameras On. This is an interactive meeting, so please show up camera-ready! This is not a passive webinar, be ready to actively participate in dialogue with your colleagues.
  • Full Engagement:  Please have both your video and audio on through your computer, laptop or iPad and eliminate notifications, distractions, or anything that will take your attention from the meeting experience.
  • Be Stationary: Please be prepared to participate from a stationary spot. Participation from a moving vehicle, while on a walk, cooking, etc. is not ideal for this type of experience.
  • Headphones or ear buds are helpful to eliminate background noise or interference.
  • Lighting. Find a spot with a good source of natural light, hitting you from the front. 
  • Raise your Camera. Do whatever it takes to position your camera at eye level. 
  • What to Bring. Grab a pen, paper, a snack, and hydration to keep you comfortable. 
  • What NOT to Bring. Eliminate as many potential distractions as possible. Find a comfortable and quiet place, turn your phone on silent, close all browsers tabs on your computer, and shut down your email.
  • Engage Mindfully. Keep yourself muted at appropriate times and be mindful of your engagement. 
  • Check your Tech.
