Because I now work from home entirely, I do a lot of my meetings via Skype. I wanted to share a simple thing that made this much better for everyone involved.
So this is what I look like on Skype:
I look rough… and mostly blue. Why is that you ask? Well it’s because this is my desktop (also that’s my mum you can see in the picture… who I was talking to on Skype at the time):
Blue light makes me look a bit rubbish, so it turns out that I had to find a tone that matched my flesh colour….
Which is quite a difference….This is one of those things that surprised me in hindsight, but genuinely turned out to be helpful. It’s obvious to some of you, I’m aware of that.
