Leaders may believe there’s nothing wrong with giving employees one more thing to do. In the past, managers may have been able to get away with it but with the Great Resignation underway, they may want to think about adding to workloads in a different way.

And while he loves to be on stage, Ken is no stranger to the world of virtual presenting. After all, he spent more than a decade in TV news, where you are presenting directly to a camera lens and have to connect to an audience you can’t see.
