SOUTHAMPTON, Pa. - PennZone -- Michael Meyer, partner at the Benjamin Ross Group (https://www.benjaminrossgroup.com/) and President of the Pennsylvania Business Brokers Association (https://www.pennbba.com/) (PBBA), along with Dr. Patricia Scott, President and CEO of Uhmms, hosted a Zoom event on communication in the new virtual world.

In light of the pandemic, businesses have had to suddenly change to become even more virtually connected. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the average adult attention span is now eight seconds. The average attention span of a goldfish is nine seconds. With shorter attention spans, we are quickly having to master the tactics of virtual communication, while keeping our audiences engaged.

"Dr. Scott did a fantastic job to help us think through the strategy of how virtual engagement can be improved," said Michael Meyer. "Her presentation presented a toolbox based on what has been learned from the study of neuroscience and communication to make virtual interactions have more value and enhance our ability to deliver our messages more clearly and more effectively," added Meyer. Participants were better able to understand the unique needs of today's audience and are now better able to adapt their messages for increased connection moving forward.
