if you're jumping on a call with someone (assume minimal notetaking if any required) and they ask to do audio-only so that they can walk while talking, would you be: a) frustrated b) indifferent c) happy or something else?

Surprised by the "it shows they don't respect your time" takes. I find that my ability to maintain attention in a call while walking is *higher* than while sitting still.

Once I have an established relationship with sometime, the walk-and-talks are the best!! When I’m just getting to know someone, I prefer video.

C - I wish active meetings were more socially acceptable (& wind was less noisy) Active meetings has so much research to support it’s a better use of everyone’s brains/time (assuming screens aren’t needed to communicate effectively) I have taken meetings on bike rides with Google Docs on my phone. It works well

It’s 50/50 for me, depends whether they end up being somewhere loud or where it’s hard to hear them If we’re both walking though it’s an awesome vibe

If they give a heads up before call that they need to be off video, I’m OK. If they show up to a call with their video off and your video on, and don’t turn theirs on to mirror, I find it rude. If they give heads up they’re gonna be on go, I offer to call their cell. Best fit mobile comm channel. 💯

Depends on meeting If friend, indifferent. I do this for catch ups If professional (fundraising, biz dev), frustrated because the other party is not taking the meeting seriously, doesn’t respect your or their time

B or C, if it helps them think and enables a better convo I’m totally down. Might get a tad frustrating if reception is bad.

C - love walk and talks. I often pace in my backyard while on calls even when they are unofficial walk and talks. Ps I use Ai transcription to summarize which takes note taking out of the limitation too. When I need an important note that is “unsaid” I jot it in notes.

depends. nonverbal part is useful when the situation is volatile or unknown. if i know the person and i'm comfortable with the context, audio-only is fine. i don't care about their reason, but i tend to subconsciously think less of them if they tell me and it's one of the current things™ (like walking now)

I am usually jumping on work calls while walking everyday, just make sure that your headphones can filter out some noise and happy days!
