FOR ME TO WORK BEST, I’D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE YOU AND HEAR YOUR VOICE.
This will be just like a video call where we can talk face to face. If that sounds ok, please turn on access to your microphone and camera when prompted to do so.

I can find it hard to hear you when you’re in a noisy room, or when there are other conversations going on around you. Please call me from a quiet place and let’s keep this one-on-one for now.

The speed of your internet connection can have a big impact on the quality of the image during our conversation. If you do experience poor quality we’d love it if you could run a speed test and email your feedback at [email protected] when you end your session.
