Covid-19: Secure online advice, mentoring and workshop facilitating

With meetings and workshops being discouraged for the duration of the coronavirus isolation period, technology and access to expert advice can come to your rescue.

By Chris Moerdyk

23 Mar 2020

Please contact me at moc.liamg@ckydreom or on 083 2225636 for a chat or WhatsApp conversation for any marketing advice, mentoring or facilitating virtual meetings, workshops or anything else requiring gatherings of people.

I have noticed a lot of companies suggesting that as they are allowed to have up to 20 people in a room or meeting together, the point is that is still dangerous.

Don’t take chances, take technology. And me.
