How to Get Comfortable on Camera
Before I ever turned on a video camera, I did over 100 audio interviews with leaders, speakers and authors.
These interviews first started on The Meeting Pro podcast, sponsored by Center Stage AV.
This podcast was originally created because industry leaders were not making time for me. Who could blame them. I had no industry or technical experience and no real value to add.
In comes the podcast. By creating a show I could invite leaders to join the conversation. I started to listen, learn and lead by example.
Some interviews turned into business, others friendships and all of them content. By putting content first, sales will follow.
This is part of the message I will be sharing in my new book "How to Win Time with Busy People" (which is taking forever :). Who would have thought writing a book would take so long. My plan is to have it ready by Christmas.
Over the last several months I have been working with one of Canada's fastest growing technology companies, Tangentia. We started BehindtheBiz.org which is approaching 150 interviews in less than 6 months.
My focus now is on helping Tangentia increase awareness for their EDI solution. For those that don't know the term, it is how retailers communicate electronically with their trading partners.
If you would like more information: Tangentia Commerce Gateway.
Getting comfortable just takes practice. You can get started by focusing on audio only. This keeps it simple. Once you are comfortable you can step up your game and turn on a camera.
Lastly, here are a few of our most recent video interviews...
