I definitely feel it was worth the money and am recommending it to everyone. I’d been tempted by the gold selling sites several times and yesterday…. was starting to look at them seriously for the first time. Definately worth it.

The lack of face-to-face is a buffer.

Less visual clues to how someone is really feeling means that it’s much easier to keep your cool than in a real life office leadership setting.

That’s true when interaction happens asynchronously, but I guess when it happens synchronously, in real or virtual space, there’s no such buffer.

You naturally have a window between cause and effect to choose responses in an virtual setting that you don’t get in face-to-face interactions.
