Digital Body Language Book

You’ve been working late and you just finished a big report that you sent off to your boss. And you received a one word reply back - "Thanks (period)." How does that make you feel? 

 

More and more of our communication takes place online - but our online language is not something we’ve learned. It’s still a new medium.

 

Today, we talk about digital body language with author, Erica Dhawan . 

 

We want to hear from you. Do emojis belong in a work email? How can you make your best first impression, through zoom?!

 
GUESTS:

Lucy leads Connecticut Public's strategies to deeply connect and build collaborations with community-focused organizations across the state.
Tess is a senior producer for Connecticut Public news-talk show Where We Live. She enjoys hiking Connecticut's many trails and little peaks, gardening and writing in her seven journals.
