If you are new to Working from Home or attending school from home, here are few things you can avoid, in order to present yourself better, make a better experience for those on the other side of your camera, build trust, and build bonds.

There are lots of other little tips and tricks, such as getting a good camera. I personally love using the Logitech C922x Pro Stream webcam. Prices are weird on this cam at the time of the writing of my article. I paid $80. It has great lighting and no fish-eye effect. I’ve had others that are dark or blurry. Spend a bit extra, if you can, to make your presence with your team as good as in person. An extra $20 can make all the difference.
Remember that you can achieve building a sense of team, trust, and bond with your teammates while working from home. Millions of people do it while working from home every day. To learn more about building trust, read my free, short whitepaper on the subject.
