Maintain Your Focus On Video Calls

Do you have a tendency to get absorbed by others on video calls? Are you over indexing facial expressions instead of paying attention to what you want to say?

For my clients who lose their train of thought (or their personality) when speaking up in important moments, it is almost always a matter of keeping your attention rooted in your body and in your physical space instead of getting pulled to anxious, analytical thought. Here are my tips:

  • Use incense or a candle to help you root your attention to something sensory instead of analytical.

  • Lean back to assume your own space.

  • Breathe into your toes.

  • Use conscious eye contact that is grounded in your body instead of wandering up unconsciously.

What helps you stay grounded and present on video calls?
