I used to hate seeing myself on video.
And guess what, most of my clients don’t love it that much, either.
But we are on video almost constantly in this world of virtual meetings and hybrid work environments.
How we show up matters.
I use recorded video a lot when I’m helping someone improve their presentation skills or their executive and leadership presence.
And even for those who despise it, they admit it’s totally worth the discomfort.
Try it. Record yourself giving a talk or presentation and watch it back. What do you see? What do you hear?
I’ll bet you’ll find at least one or two things you didn’t know you needed to improve upon.
