This comms pro says the virtual environment has been particularly interesting for his work, which entails studying interpersonal connections and rapport in a room. Here’s how he sees the future of communication.
What’s your new favorite tool for remote work?
For Michael Coston, CEO of Coston Consulting, a selfie ring light has been a surprisingly helpful addition to his arsenal of workplace tools.
Coston shares how he is working through these frenetic times as part of our “Day in the Life” series. Here are some of his top takeaways:
1. How much coffee do you drink during a day?
Coston: I usually drink two cups of coffee a day. One in the morning and the other sometime mid-afternoon.
2. Who is the most important person you talk to every day?
Coston: Besides my wife, it would have to be my partner, Angelica Crisi. My days usually start with a call to Angelica to discuss deliverables and strategize about the various client initiatives that we need to advance.
3. How much of your day is spent on Zoom calls?
Coston: About 50-60% of my time is spent on Zoom calls. I’m rarely on non-video calls, whereas seven months ago, I didn’t have many video calls at all. It’s been a significant change.
