Now, what are some common challenges people face when learning or teaching remote communication skills? GUEST: One major challenge is overcoming the lack of non-verbal cues in virtual interactions. It can be difficult to convey tone, emotion, and body language through text or even video calls. Another challenge is managing distractions and staying focused during remote meetings.
