Veeo, a display product company, has introduced a transparent OLED display designed to enhance the experience of remote online meetings. The company's primary goal is to enable eye-to-eye contact during these meetings, replicating the trust-building experience of face-to-face interactions.Transparent OLED display for online meetingsThe product utilizes a camera positioned behind the transparent OLED display. This setup creates the effect of a clear glass, aligning all participants along the center axis and allowing them to view each other through the screen. The camera is strategically placed at eye level behind the display, ensuring participants do not have to look down. The height of the display can be adjusted, but the camera is located at the center point of the screen.The camera can achieve 1080p resolution, with 4K also possible but not necessary. Its specialty lies in its ability to see through the transparent display and eliminate distortion, reflection, and interference. The monitor has a pixel density that limits the resolution. The 30-inch display is currently 720p, as some real estate needs to remain transparent. The transparency of the display is around 40%.Veeo offers two screen sizes - 30-inch and 55-inch - which are currently only prototypes. The company showcased the product at a media event and plans to start shipping in the summer. The camera has a field of view of approximately 80 degrees, capturing a reasonable angle for meetings.Software to improve the experienceThe product includes software that works with various online video meeting platforms, including Zoom. Veeo also offers special software that allows participants to use a transparent shared whiteboard, where each person has their own section of the screen, but the text orientation is correct for each individual.In addition, users can import content, such as videos and PowerPoint presentations, to the cloud server. This content can then be accessed and displayed dynamically during the presentation. This feature can be compared to a video switcher, where the next video or PowerPoint slide is queued up and can be easily accessed and displayed with a push of a button.One notable feature of Veeo's product is its versatility in sharing content. Users can choose whether to share the content with the audience or keep it for themselves, using it as a teleprompter. This flexibility allows presenters to tailor their presentations to their specific needs and preferences.Conclusion: An easy way to maintain eye contact onlineIn terms of pricing, Veeo offers a fully enclosed version of the 30-inch display for $2,500, while the see-through version, suitable for open office environments, costs around $3,000. The 55-inch display is primarily targeted for conference rooms and comes with collaborative software to enable participants to work together and view shared digital content. The pricing for the 55-inch display is not mentioned.In conclusion, Veeo's transparent OLED display for online meetings aims to enhance the remote meeting experience by enabling eye-to-eye contact and providing collaborative features. While the pricing and availability of the product are mentioned, more details about its capabilities and potential impact on online meetings would be beneficial.Interview by Don Baine, The Gadget Professor.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

Chad Jeske joins us on today's episode of the Fly the Coop Podcast. Chad is the Owner/ Publisher/ Connector at Twin Cities REAL Producers. REAL Producers is a social network where Chad and the team get to work with the top 5% of the realtors in the Twin Cities. They put together quarterly social events for the realtors where the top agents can socialize and really get to know each other. They also put together a local trade publication that goes out every month where they feature top performing agents, their non-profits, trade secrets, funny real estate stories, and vendors. Chad is just one of many successful people who have found success by hanging out with other successful people. That's why we wanted to get to know him and how he got his start in real estate—so you can learn from his experience (and maybe take some cues from his advice)In this episode of the podcast, we get to know more about Chad Jeske, the brain behind Twin Cities real producers and why it was started, the power of proximity and why it is important to hang out around successful people and so much more!Let's dive in!Topics Discussed and Key Points:Top-performing agents don't hang out at their offices.Top-performing agents are busy and they don't take sporadic meetingsThe same seeds reap the same rewards.People don't have to self-promote if they do a good job.Why Twin Cities Real Producers was created.The state of Real producers in Minnesota.a majority percentage of the transactions and volume go through a very small percentage of agents.Why are people now sceptical of everything they read and the wreck of the publishing industry?Lead generation through organic relationshipsSuccess leaves clues.People always remember how you make them feel and the agent that helps the most people always wins.Timestamps[00:35] Introducing Chad and what he does.[00:58] Why reall producers were launched[04:43] The power of proximity[08:07] What draws people to agents[10:16] What Real Producers is like in the State of Minnesota and what it means[12:33] The launch of Twin City Real producers[18:13] Building organic relationships and how Chad monetizes his platform.  [21:04] What do real producers actually do and who do they benefit[22:05] Why Chad organizes so many events but doesn't monetize them[30:28] Successful agents build relationships based on activity.[32:33] Why is it important to do something positive, caring, and loving even when there are no expectations?[36:23] Why Chad does not allow real estate agents to advertise on their platform[38:28] How Chad enjoys filling in the blank for people/ putting people together.[46:20] Giving with no strings attached[47:56] The spine behind Chad's business[48:40] The concentrated leadNotable Quotes[00:03:29] “The question I get a lot is, gosh, Chad, how do you meet someone who's doing 15 million a year in real estate and have any level of influence to get them to 50 million a year? Because I've never sold 50 million a year. I can't reach them. Right. But the answer is pretty simple. Put them in a room full of people that sell 50 million a year.” [00:03:52] “We utilize a lot of psychology, basic psychology like the power of proximity. We become the average of the people we surround ourselves with.” [00:04:25] “So by putting people in proximity to each other, they meet, they build rapport. They share off each other's energy to share off each other's wisdom.”[00:05:07] “Fundamentally, you do need to have an innate passion and respect for and empathy for what this business really is in its massive life transition. Absolutely. In fact, all factions of it. And to be truly successful in that, there's got to be that core understanding of the business.” [00:06:09] “Basically you can learn. From another person without having to invest blood, sweat and tears. Right. Just based on their experience. Absolutely. You can literally skip steps.” [00:06:58] “So the advantage of putting people around other successful, like-minded, like, performing people is there's more market awareness.” [00:08:31] “What I found is a majority of top producing agents did not get to where they're at, being this rude, cutthroat negotiator or anything like that. They got that way because they are some of the kindest, most grateful, driven people, most resourceful people for these clients.”[00:21:06] “A lot of the agents I meet, they're not just telling people what they should be doing. They are. They're doing it themselves.”[00:22:57] “The Internet's fine, but having the experienced individual look at that through a set of eyes that have seen thousands, maybe tens of thousands of homes. Right. You will be able to spot things, you know, that no one even thought about.” [00:25:14] “I don't monetize the events. I don't make a dime doing them right. I do them because it gives me the ability to connect people faster.” [00:35:16] “The most successful agents I've met were not raised to become top-performing realtors.” [00:47:31] “I never thought I was going to be able to have a job helping people.

I hope you are well into your summer vacation, and maybe you're listening to this podcast on the beach, or out in the mountains, or maybe just in your office and maybe there's a lot of people on vacation and you can actually work on things now. Anyway, I hope you're all having a lovely, lovely almost August. Anyway, Kristina, how are you doing today?Kristina:I'm doing pretty good. How are you?Christina:Doing well. Doing well. So for just a heads up for you guys, for the next couple of weeks, since it's the summer, we're taking a little bit of a break, slowing down a bit. And that means that the podcasts and the videos for the next three weeks are going to be review lessons where we go back and we revisit some of the things from the past year. And today it's about essential business practices in English. And I guess, Kristina, what would be maybe the first, I guess, essential business practice that you would like to share with us?Kristina:Well, there's a lot. There's a whole lot which we always talk about in FFCC. But one that I can think of is when you're writing an email. At the end, so many times, maybe in different languages, it's like, "Oh, I wait for your response." But in English, the best thing to say is, "I look forward to your response," "I look forward to hearing from you," "I look forward to meeting with you." Any of that is all fine.Christina:Right, yeah. Just, "I look forward to..." whatever is coming in the future instead of like, "I wait for..." Which, I don't know, it almost sounds kind of menacing, like the person is sitting at their email box, saying, "Respond, respond, respond. Why haven't you responded to me?"Kristina:"I'm waiting for you!"(continues...)Support the show

My today's guest is Sam Bennett. In our conversation, we are going to discuss why at least 90% of work meetings are a complete waste of time and energy. You might think, I also attend some meetings that are not beneficial and without any outcome, or the outcome is just another meeting. Now, if you wonder how that plays into your productivity, we will also see some fundamental misconceptions when we think and talk, probably too much about the term productivity. Sam is a great person to talk to about those topics as she has written two bestselling books on how to get things done and how little but constant changes can have a huge impact on your life.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Our esteemed guest, Dr Ben Ritter, has noticed a trend of leaders not feeling like they deserve to be there. The speed with which leaders can rise to the top, mobile/remote working and the fluidity of organisational structures have all contributed to a totally different kind of leader, so we're going to find out what it takes to be a top executive in 2021.Dr Ben is an immensely successful learning development consultant, author, mentor and speaker with 10 years of experience coaching in corporate finance for the likes of Amazon and Google. He's guided hundreds of professionals in his time, and beyond his professional work, he's also a very well-read academic with an MBA and MPH on his CV. If ever you wanted someone to tell you about the art of leadership, he's your man!Episode Highlights: The true meaning of ‘executive presence'How to think like an executiveThe importance of seeing current projects in the context of a 3 - 5 year planHow good leaders should prepare for meetingsThe difference between ‘a meeting' and ‘an update'When to hold off on giving an instructionWhy you should always try and ask one more questionHow to manipulate meetings to make sure you show upThe ‘three cs' of self leadershipHow to stay aligned with your visionHow to attain psychological safety in your workUseful Links:Dr Ben Ritter on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ritterbenj Company website - https://www.liveforyourselfconsulting.com/People Leaders Website - https://peopleleaders.com.au/ People Leaders on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/people-leaders-pty-ltd/Jan Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/janterkelsen/Michelle Terkelsen on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michelle-terkelsen-creating-high-performing-teams-a992744/People Leaders Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PeopleLeaders/Twitter - https://twitter.com/PeopleLeadersPeople Leaders Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/people.leaders

Do you ever use July as a time to pause, plan and possibly make a course correction for the remainder of the year? Is it that time?These are great to do every year to make sure you're running in the right direction, running towards what matters most, and running in a way that you can sustain. It's a great time to take an honest inventory of how the year has gone up to this point and giving deep thought to how you'd like it to finish. It's a time to reflect and celebrate the ‘wins' as well as a time to shine a light on where to be more bold, more courageous, and where to step up and serve at an even higher level.It's also a time to reflect on excuses and stories that are no longer of service, boundaries needed and the consistent action to take to make 2H 2021 the best possible. Whenever we are looking to shift or move to the next level (promotion, board seat, shifting direction in a role, shifting out of a role, shifting into a new role…), fear and doubt are often evil twins. We may tell ourselves stories about why we might not be good enough, why we can't, why our gut and our heart are dreaming an impossible dream, why our voices might not be heard or why making a shift is impossible. Have you ever told yourself a story?All of us have. The problem is that, in an effort to protect ourselves from failure, embarrassment, shame etc, stories more often than not lead to excuses. I get it because I did it for 20 years. I worked with a few world-class athletes every year, helping these top 1% accelerate their progress and then perform under immense pressure. It was in my heart and gut to empower 10,000 female leaders a year, in athletics AND in business, but I kept doing what I knew. I had given myself permission to coach the best but not be the best and scale up my impact. That all changed 8 years ago during a ‘Pause & Plan'. I granted myself permission, hired the right coaches, (yes, us coaches have coaches:), put in the work. Stages appeared. Impact multiplied. So the epic journey of empowering female heart-centered leaders who are shifting entire companies continues to unfold… I love being the guide, so YOU can be the hero.The world needs you to show up at your highest level. Is it time to listen or re-listen to your gut and your heart, so you can understand where you need to have a bigger voice and even greater impact?“You have brilliance in you, your contribution is essential, and the art you create is precious. Only you can do it, and you must.”  -Seth Godin, LinchpinIf it's time to listen to your heart and your gut and have a Q3 Pause & Plan, here's a great place to start:- Raise awareness of a story that is not serving you. - List an excuse that is slowing your progress. - Set a boundary and commit to moving forward. - Take consistent action and focus on the process.Here's an example from a senior leader who is passionate about (and d@mn good at) strategy planning for her organization:The story:If I step away completely from day-to-day operations and client interactions so I can focus on strategy, I'll overburden my team. The excuse:Too busy to strategize in the morning.The boundary:Eliminate/delegate 50% of my meetingsThe action:Calendar blocked, spend 2 hours each morning on strategy planning with full transition by end of the year.As it turned out, the team welcomed the extra responsibility and opportunity to step in! Let's make sure 2H 2021 matters and that you are running in the right direction. You can do just that and schedule a strategic 30-minute Ignition Call with me here (www.sherylkline.com/ignition). I'll absorb the cost because, total transparency, this is how I find my most incredible clients who I LOVE working with.

After nearly a year of somewhat dissatisfying, best-we-could-do substitutes, we're getting back to the real churchiness of church, at least in my part of the world—by which I mean the actual gathering of God's people around his saving word. It's marvellous. All the same, whenever you return to something familiar after a break, you do see it with new eyes. It's an excellent opportunity to pause and re-assess why and how we're doing things as we do.In that spirit, over the next three Payneful editions, I'm going to offer some miscellaneous ideas about: * leading better church meetings;* why praise makes God bigger (sounds heretical!); and* the theology of livestreaming. This week: seven thoughts on leading better church meetings. Leading better church meetingsThe following ideas are by no means all that could be said about leading better church meetings. In fact, I wrote a meatier essay about this in The Briefing back in 2012 that you're welcome to check out. In that longer piece, I dug more into the theology of the gathering, and why (also theologically) it's important to be wise in how we construct them and lead them. But for now, here are seven punchy principles to provoke your thinking, and to use in discussion with your meeting leaders.1. Be clear on what your role is as a meeting leaderThe leader of a church gathering should be more than a peripheral MC or a warm-up act; but neither should they be the centre of attention. The role and purpose of a meeting leader relates to the purpose of the church gathering as a whole. Let's stipulate (rather than debate at this point!) that the purpose of the Sunday gathering is to meet with God in Jesus Christ as his people, and to edify one another by his Spirit, as we speak God's word and respond to him together. If that (or something very like it) is the case, then the role of the meeting leader is a bit like being the head of the household at a family dinner. He welcomes everyone, and oversees and facilitates all that happens, in order that the family gathering might function well and meet its goals. He doesn't cook and serve every dish, or even the main course. But he is the one who takes responsibility to see that the whole thing goes well. You could summarise the purpose of a meeting leader as leading the household of God in God-ward edification by the word and prayer.This means that the role of the leader may not quite be an exercise in teaching, but that it is certainly a very important role requiring theologically discerning leadership.2. Aim for a conceptual flow that suits the purpose of the gathering 1 Cor 14 suggests that a meeting leader should marshal the various contributions from different members of the church household into a decent, orderly edifying whole. Those contributions will usually be some form of word ministry (Bible reading, preaching, testimony, singing) or some form of response to the word (prayer, thanksgiving, singing, confession, and so on). Just as a family dinner has a certain logic to it—nibblies then main course then dessert—so in a church meeting (or any meeting for that matter), there is a conceptual flow that makes sense of what the meeting is trying to achieve. This might be a general gospel-shaped conceptual trajectory (e.g. one that leads towards a repentant, faith-filled, listening to God's word and then responds to that word in various ways). It also might be shaped by the particular message or theme of that particular meeting. Every church meeting will have a conceptual trajectory of some kind—it's really a case of whether you take the time to think about what that flow is, whether it makes sense, and whether it contributes towards the goals of the gathering. Simply taking the time to think about how the different components of the meeting fit together, and which arrangement of them would flow best conceptually, would be a step forward for many meeting leaders. 3. Consider the emotional temperature or flowEverything that happens in a meeting will have an emotional or affective impact on those present. There will be a fluctuation of emotional temperature as the meeting goes on. We can't avoid this (nor would we want to).Part of the meeting leader's role is to reflect on this fluctuation, to respect it, and where possible to nudge it along in the most helpful way. For example, don't program a rip-roaring song immediately before you want everyone to sit quietly and attentively to listen to a sermon. Don't segue straight from a jaunty and hilarious announcement video into a prayer of confession. Don't leave people sitting quietly for 30 continuous minutes and then expect them to sit quietly for another 30 minutes for the sermon. Don't be afraid of either levity or gravity—both are beautiful in their season.4. Pay attention to the transitionsIt might actually be possible to segue from a jaunty video announcement to a time of prayer, if you allow for the appropriate transition—in this case, perhaps taking up the theme or event from the announcement, reflecting on how important it is to pray for these matters, giving people a few moments to absorb that we're changing gears, and getting ready to approach God together in prayer, inviting the pray-er to come forward, and so on. By the time you've done this—it might only have taken 60 seconds—the congregation might be ready for the emotional and conceptual pivot from announcement to prayer.Think about every transition between elements in the meeting. Think about them logistically, conceptually and emotionally. Is some kind of thread needed to stitch one piece to the next? 5. Be gracious to household guestsAfter you've prepared the run sheet for your meeting, and thought about how it all flows and fits together, and considered the transitions, and figured out what you're going to say at various points—go back to the beginning and think through the whole thing again from the perspective of the guest or the outsider. Would it make sense to them? What aspects would be gobbledygook to them? Would they feel welcomed and included as guests at our household gathering? 6. Train your contributorsThis seems like a statement of the bleedin' obvious, but since it is so rarely done, the obvious needs to be said: if we were to offer appropriate training to those who are going to serve during the meeting, not only would they be encouraged, supported and boosted in their confidence, they would be more likely to do a good and edifying job!To take just one example: it astonishes me just a touch that so few churches offer any guidelines or training for those who are going to read the Bible aloud during the church meeting. It is surely one of the high points of the whole gathering—to sit and listen together to God's word being read—but most churches don't seem to treat as such. They don't look for people who are gifted in reading aloud (some of us are, some aren't), and they provide no training in how to do it more effectively. (If you're looking for a solution here, the best—in fact only one—I know of is this short two-session training program from Matthias Media: Reading the Bible Aloud. See some further details below in the PS.)7. Lead in real timeNo battle plan, they say, survives first contact with the enemy. Thoughtful preparation is important, but leading a meeting also means leading in real time, as events unfold. When it becomes apparent, for example, that things are running over time, and you won't be able to fit everything in, it's your job to assess the situation and make the call to drop the last song, or to run past your normal finish time, or whatever it might be. When some tragic news is shared, and it's obvious that people are upset and need some time to recover, it's your job to pause the meeting, lead in prayer, and take a three minute break.Like any good host, a meeting leader is attentive. He notices, he cares, and he steps in to do whatever would be best for the household of God and their guests. PSWhat's the standard of meeting leading like in your part of the world? Do you have any good ideas or tips to share? Make a comment, or send me an email (and I'll share your wisdom around). By the way, it seems that the training program I recommend above on Reading the Bible Aloud  is on sale at 50% off at the moment at Matthias Media. Not sure how long this will last, but get in quick if you can! There's a booklet and a DVD (remember those?). I've developed a number of ‘church meeting templates' over the years that reflect the principles above. Later this week, I'll send them around as a ‘Payneful Extra'. This is a partner only post, but (as always) feel free to make good use of it in your ministries—but you'll have to do it old school. You can forward the email (with the text in it), print it out, cut-and-paste it … whatever. But if you just send someone the web link, or share the link on social media, they won't be able to view the post online.  This is a public episode.
