During the virtual meeting:
- If the meeting is being recorded, the welcome screen will say so, respond accordingly, and feel free to remain silent if you wish to avoid being recorded;
- Participate in a comfortable location and limit background noise, please mute after introducing yourself or announcing that you are on LIVE;
- Be dressed, REMEMBER, if your camera is turned on we can all see you;
- By clicking on to LIVE, the virtual meeting, you agree to follow the guidelines and give consent to participate (silent participation is OK too);
- The Host will mute everyone when we get started and at the end, when we re-open for All TALK and Q&A, the host will un-mute the microphones. If you are on the computer or a tablet, please self-mute yourself on and off; (see the small icon of a microphone on your screen which looks similar to this). If you are on your phone, you won’t have this ability, no problem!
- Identify yourself when you join (unless you don’t want to be recorded);
- Please avoid multitasking;
- Speak clearly;
- Be polite;
- We will review the guidelines and etiquette at the beginning of the meeting.
Each Wellness Wednesday LIVE gathering will follow this pattern:
Welcome – Pray – Share Guidelines – Opening Remarks
& Slide Show Presentation – All Talk/Q&A – Pray
Once the session begins, we will have microphones muted, so please jot down any thoughts, notes or questions you might want to share. You will be invited to ask questions at the end of the Slide Show when all the microphones are un-muted. If you are on the computer or a tablet, please self-mute your microphone on and off when you speak. (This avoids unintentional background noise and feedback). If you are connected by phone, you don’t have the option of self-muting. Remember, this is technology. Your brain does a good job at reducing background noise, your microphone does not.
A Few Technology Tips
Check to be sure your phone or computer works with LIVE (do a trial run with a friend or email mycmpcoach@gmail.com and ask.) Remember not to move around yourself or with your device (especially smart phones), movement often causes cameras to freeze and lose connection.
Expect glitches in technology

When it works give a prayer of gratitude.
