Before I moved up to Connecticut, I made the "wise" decision to sell all of my work from home furniture.
At the time, it made sense.
"Well, I'm just going to be working in the office now mostly, I won't need it!"
Whoops.
So, I've been working from my couch. The unexpected consequence of this, however, is that a large percentage of my Zoom video conference calls now feature an uninvited co-star...
My delightful little murder-face, Pumpkin.🎃
In fact, she crashed one of my calls with IMPACT Video Trainer Will Schultz yesterday and bullied him silently with a glare that, I believe, Robert DeNiro would be proud of.
Understandably, he was terrified... and yet...
Poor Will.
Given how many of us are now all working from home, I'm sure I'm not the only one dealing with a little bit of video conferencing hijinx.
But it's inescapable, right? Video — whether we're talking about live video conferencing or video in our digital sales and marketing strategies — is now more important than ever.
So, that's what this issue is all about: video.
That's right, I know a lot of you out there have been avoiding video in all forms, but (in light of recent events) resistance is now futile.
Why? Well, as IMPACT Director of Video Strategy Zach Basner so eloquently put it in a recent interview:
"Video is the only type of content that allows people to see us, to hear us, and to know us. This is why video makes a difference ... [Video] offers an opportunity for real, human connection when people can see us and hear us and get to know who we are — especially the leaders of organizations who acknowledge the elephant in the room. I think that's one of the biggest impact that video can have right now."
Now, let's get into it.
