I agree with this video and I believe that a meeting should always be face to face. Actions speaks louder then words and facial expression communicate the sentiment of what a person may be feeling inside. A person may say one thing via internet or via phone conversation and mean another thing in there heart. I believe that face to face contact give each person that confidence and assurance that whatever the matter need to be communicated can be done affluently and effectively versus emailing or texting someone.

I definitely agree with this video. You should always talk to someone face to face. With new technology, now a days people are starting to have meetings over face time. I do not believe that this is how it should be. you should always interact with your employees and customers. If you do not do it face to face you can not always tell how someone is really saying something. For example, in an email. Someone might say something but you can not tell how they are saying it.

I like that he tries to do this as often as possible. However there are times where you must make the call or email. Face to face is fine for discussion, but I also like the paper trail or digital trail recapping the conversations whether it was in person or on the phone.

meeting always need to be face to face. They don't always have this option however. This is why we have invented things such as videoconferencing. the reason this is useful is that you can see peoples body language which as what humans use for 90% of their communication.

meeting face to face is the best way to communicate. It keeps things personal and allows people to understand one another.

I completely agree with this video! All meetings should be face to face. I really hate emails and texting, because they are so impersonal. In and email or text message, it is very easy to misunderstand what a person is trying to communicate. A lot of time text can be taken out of context and it can result in miscommunications. Phone calls are a little bit better, but not by much. I would much rather see someone in person or at the very least Skype chat. At least on Skype it is almost like a face to face meeting and could be used when long distances would not allow you to meet face to face.

Face to face meetings are very important. It builds relationships which builds trust and unity within the workplace. However, it is not always easy or realistic to have face to face meetings. I think it is important to make the time to do it sometimes but not all the time.

I think it is very important to determine if a face-to-face meeting is absolutely necessary. Because calling a meeting can take away from work time, it should be considered to be necessary. Sometime a memo or e-mail could suffice for a meeting. Although face-to-face meeting are more personal and can initiate discussions to resolve problems or issues.

I can't agree more with his opinion of face to face meeting. I personally much prefer a face to face interaction than any other forms of communication. Face to face communication is so much more efficient because it allows you to read others' face expressions, their body language which means even more than words. However, the downside of face to face meeting is it can be costly, when the person you want to meet with lives and works far far away.

I agree with this video, every meeting needs to be face to face. It promotes a better workplace and is a more personal experience. It was a short video but it gave a great statement. By meeting face to face you get to see the persons face and emotions when they are talking about something. He also mentions how outsourcing does not work because it will never be face to face it is not personal. Face to face meetings have more impact than any other.

I agree with this video in that meetings should always be face-to-face. If I need to talk with someone I may setup the meeting through email or a type of messaging but I will always want to meet with them in person. Meeting in person allows for statements to not be misconstrued. If I were receiving messages that seemed rude or upsetting it could be meant a different way by the sender. These miscommunications can be bypassed if the two met in person. Also, meeting in this way allows for both parties to read body language and actually communicate properly.

I believe that all meetings should be face to face. Learning how to talk directly to someone and reading them is the best way to give any type of news, good or bad. It creates a relationship that would not be there otherwise.

In my opinion, art of effective communication is disappearing. Face to face communication has long since been replaced with smartphones and text messages. It's nice to see that some business professionals still appreciate the importance of this type of interaction with other people.

I believe face to face discussions are necessary for problematic situations or hard to understand concepts. For the everyday chat I feel a call or text is okay. I do agree that so many people get caught up on technology that that face to face experience is limited. It also helps people to understand better being able to see facial expressions and gestures.

I think face-to-face meetings really never have any downsides. It is so important to talk to someone in person rather than email them issues you are having with your job. Talking face-to-face may be uncomfortable but in the end, it results in a much clearer understanding on both sides of what the issue is. It is also never a bad thing to get experience talking to people and improving social skills.
