In the spirit of yesterday’s post on cooperation, collaboration and communication, here’s some common ground upon which I think we can all agree.

Here’s a great little video translating the odd behaviors of the conference call into real life. Happy Friday.

1 Thought on "The Joy of Conference Calls"

John Cleese has a very funny series of training videos which include ‘The Conference’. Not at all dated and highly recommended.
