Easy Ways to Improve Team Communication with Austin Norton & David Patton

Have you ever thought about the best ways to communicate with your team?

Many businesses put their heart and soul into crafting the best ways to get their message across to customers. But when it comes to internal communications, it’s often overlooked.

In this episode of The Visual Lounge, Austin Norton (Project Manager) and David Patton (Partnership Marketing Specialist) from TechSmith join to discuss the importance of great communication in your team.

Austin and David talk about using simple screenshots or videos to get messages across much faster and clearer. They take us through their different approaches to creating internal videos and explain how the era of remote work has affected our willingness to be on camera.

Learning points from the episode include:

  • Why screenshots are often a faster and easier way to communicate
  • The importance of “getting into the zone” when creating video
  • Short videos vs. long polished videos: How the TechSmith team does it differently
  • Why you should lean into your strengths when it comes to visual content
  • Why video is flexible and gives us so many communication options
