Donuts In The Lunchroom

Are you struggling to make your next virtual event “exciting” and “engaging?”

In 2020, we suddenly, we found ourselves working differently. We went from commuting to the office on a regular basis, to commuting to the dining room table with our fuzzy slippers on. No longer were we grabbing a quick chat with our work colleagues by the water cooler or sitting around a table batting ideas around. Sure, we stayed in contact via email, phone and on videoconferencing platforms, but it just wasn’t the same.

In this E-book, we share some thoughts, insights and tools to bridge the virtual divide, to enhance the element engagement of this two-dimensional communication, and to make teams feel connected and valued again. Dropping a box of donuts on the counter in the lunchroom and sending a company-wide email to “come and get ’em” no longer checks those boxes. It now takes some ingenuity to bring the hearts and minds of our colleagues together, but we promise you that it will be worth it!

Enjoy readingDonuts in the Lunchroom. We hope you find some inspiration to engage your audience at your next virtual event! 

 

“About the Author

This book was a collaborative effort written during the COVID-19 pandemic with industry friend and colleagues, Kim Beaune. With the sudden urgency to hold all events virtually in the spring of 2020, the need to create engaging virtual events was a necessity. And “Donuts in the Lunchroom” was born!

Sharon is currently working on her 3rd book called “The Bright Ideas European Adventure” where she travels through Europe interviewing Event Producers throughout France, Italy, Switzerland and Spain.

Reader Reviews

Sharon is a stalwart in the event industry. Her knowledge of all facets of live, virtual and hybrid events puts her at the bleeding edge of strategy and innovation.

Her latest book is a practical and thoughtful look inside the world of virtual events, which many of us have been pushed into and are now unwillingly wading through. It’s a must-read if you want to avoid the common pitfall of Zoom burnout and instead create events your team and attendees will rave about.
