Connection, I just can't make no connection (The Rolling Stones)

On average, I would have a couple of on-line meetings each day Monday to Friday. 

Seth Godin makes an interesting point about the cons of on-line meetings.

• Limits options for engagement
• Engagement can be less meaningful 
• More difficult to read body language and ensure participants are engaged
• Technical difficulties can impact the quality  

His point is that it doesn't have to be this way.  As he says - If, even once, you’ve had a virtual meeting that engaged you and made you feel connected to someone else, then it’s clearly possible.

The challenge for whoever is running the meeting is to have it happen more often. Seth again - Lazy simulations of in-person meetings are not a worthy substitute.
