Bose Professional has introduced a new video podcast series, ‘Better Connected’, aimed at addressing the challenges of communicating effectively and developing deeper human connections in an increasingly virtual world.

With hybrid working set to define the future of professional communication, understanding how to establish connections with dispersed teams — and the role of technology in achieving this — will be integral to business success.

During conversations with high-profile contributors, viewers will have the opportunity to hear about and be inspired by their experiences as we adapt to a new era of hybrid work.

Hosted by Justin O’Connor the three episodes will feature household name guests to explore how to foster authentic interaction while collaborating remotely whether that’s in the area of education or enterprise.

“Better Connected” episodes will feature:

• Connecting with Virtual Audiences with Dianna Cowern: Also known as “Physics Girl,” prolific YouTuber Dianna Cowern will share her experiences in cultivating trust and engagement virtually among her more than 2 million subscribers, as well as how to deliver complex ideas succinctly and authentically to an audience in a fun and entertaining way.
• Remote Collaboration with Scott Kelly: A former NASA astronaut and US Navy Captain, Scott Kelly shares his experience in communicating and interacting in challenging scenarios as well as staying productive. He speaks about the communication requirements in the extreme environments and how to collaborate with teams spread across a variety of locations, providing practical tips we can apply to our lives on Earth.
• Staying Motivated with Michael Johnson: As an Olympic gold medalist, World Champion athlete and founder of the sports training company Michael Johnson Performance, Michael discusses how coaching techniques have adapted to the virtual environment. He also shares how to stay motivated when situations change and how to get the best out of people who have been taken out of their comfort zones, resulting in the development of top performers.

Justin O’Connor remarks: “Better Connected features insights and stories from experts in their respective fields, who have adapted their skillsets for an increasingly virtual world. While AV technologies are increasingly common in our workplaces, we can all be inspired and learn from the experiences shared by our guests. In doing so, we can find the right balance between human and technology as our communication methods continue to evolve.”
