Even experts can struggle to present their ideas.With the explosive growth of video content, experts and thought-leaders are increasingly expected to appear on camera despite having no formal training in presenting skills. Whether you're self-shooting, or in a studio, you want your camera presence to carry the same weight and authority as your expertise, but all too-often the alien nature of filming and speaking under pressure can be our undoing. This can lead to under-performance, negative experiences, and future avoidance of projects which could raise your profile and catapult your career to new heights! But it doesn't have to be this way.
