Digital Body Language by Erica Dhawan
How to Build Trust & Connection No Matter the Distance

Communication. 50% of our emails are misinterpreted.
Digital body language. Liking a post. Making a comment. Answering an email in detail. Using emoji. Laughing during a video meeting. Responding promptly to a text. Using an emoji in a digital meeting.
Communicate carefully. Collaborate competently. Trust totally.
