Illustration of two women in a virtual meeting: one smiling and typing on a laptop saying, 'Hi, Giselle. Thanks for meeting with me.' The other woman appears busy, holding her glasses and responding, 'Hi, Lisa. I’m sorry, but I only have a few minutes today. Lots to do, so let’s get straight to business…' with a dotted line connecting their conversation.
