Beyond the Meeting Room
A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO MASTERING COMMUNICATION IN A REMOTE WORLD

The pandemic knocked the world off its feet, completely changing the way we go to work. With nobody in the office, there were no more in-person meetings and for a while, nearly everybody was working from home.
The whole world had to find and embrace other methods of communicating and even though the pandemic is over, the new means of communicating have become the new norm,. Some people say these five methods of communicating have made worker collaboration more efficient. On the other hand, the personal touch of actually sitting next to someone in a meeting is long gone. So we have come to rely a great deal on:

  • Texting
  • Email
  • Telephone
  • Video Conferencing
  • Document Collaboration

However, we were all pretty much on our own to learn how to best use these new methods and there is still very little training on their best practices. If we’re going to continue using these forms of communication, then let’s do it right. This book shows how to improve your communication skills, and how to not get lost in a remote world.

Communication will always be important in your business and personal life. Become an excellent communicator and you will go far.

The Boy Behind the Gate Reviews

Here’s to a fascinating book I just finished: Larry Jacobson’s, “The
Boy Behind the Gate”. Thank you, Larry, for taking me around this big
world on your sailboat, “Julia”. I went so many places my head is
spinning. I went through so many disasters that turned out in the end. My hat
is off to your romantic accomplishment. The tour was splendid and I learned so
much about far away places and our common humanity. Thank you for how you
shared your feelings so transparently throughout the book; that made it genuine.
It was far more than a travelogue. You conquered A LOT and woke something in
me. Thank you for sharing your courage and dreams.

Skip begins searching for his mysterious runaway brother, who was last seen in Tahiti. The search for his brother explodes into a dangerous journey Skip never expected.

He meets Kanek, a Tahitian orphan, and together they sail around the world searching for Skip’s brother. They’re surprised and shocked about the dark discoveries they make, but are compelled to keep on the hunt.

They become involved way over their heads and danger lurks everywhere as the boys encounter dragons, snakes, crocodiles, man-fish, pirates, and erupting volcanoes. Only having just met, Skip and Kanek must learn to trust each other in these situations and are faced with life or death decisions along their journey.
The story is fast-paced, exciting, dangerous, and at many points, the boys are faced with the question of whether to go on or not. What is important in life? What are the boys’ priorities? They don’t seem to want to give up…but should they?
