Lessons from Eyjafjallajökull
Yes that’s right everybody. Your favorite Iclandic volcano and mine has been doing quite a number on the air space around Europe and has stranded quite a few would-be meeting attendees on the other side of this big blue ball of dense space dust (or on my side for that matter).
So what does this mean? Since you’re on the Fuze Meeting blog, I’m going to let you guess… But OK FINE, I’ll just tell you. If by chance you happened to be stranded, enjoy your few extra days of vaycay, but take advantage of this moment to learn about web conferencing!
If you haven’t been doing online meetings yet, THE TIME IS NOW.
Q: What have you got to lose?
A: Literally…nothing. I mean…do you really have another choice anyway?
So, *hint hint wink wink* sign up for our 30 day free trial (or just get free unlimited meetings for 3 attendees by fanning us on Facebook) and (for heaven’s sake!) use this opportunity to learn something new about whatever unexpected culture you’ve just found yourself amidst.
Take that, Eyjafjallajökull! You and your ridiculous spelling won’t keep us from being productive with our co-workers.
Congratulations on spelling that place: Eyjafjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull, Eyjafjallajökull.
In Iceland, we call it EyeJaff.
Ya know, I’m getting ready to take a business trip – my first in about two years- and dreading the travel. Online meetings are just much more time, energy and cost efficient. Really, being “up in the air” isn’t much fun anymore.
I just got back from three days of meetings in Brazil… and my conclusion is 20 hours of travel in either direction is almost as good a “meeting blocker” as a volcano. Next time I’m suggesting web conferencing! I’m pooped today…
