Posted by Megan Price on Aug 4, 2020 11:24:37 AM

Most of us didn’t sign up to be on daytime television as actors or hosts but for many of us, it feels like that’s exactly where we have ended up.  Added to the stress of working from home, pivoting a business and completely revamping policies, procedures and protocols, being on camera for most of our day can feel like it’s pushing us a little too far.

With a perfect blend of corporate experience and on-camera television background, Shona Welsh and Jan Bailey of OVATION Experts in Speaker Training want to help you dial down your adrenalin every time you turn on your laptop.  Though you may never make the official jump to television personality, this webinar will offer specific and actionable tips so you feel more confident in how you come across on camera.  We can’t help you prepare your report to the board, but we can certainly help you look more polished and professional when you deliver it at the Virtual Board Meeting.

On stage is not at all the same as acting for television or even for film; sometimes the performance just gets lost in the translation.  It is no different for those of us in the boardrooms.  A different media means a different focus and different strategies to capitalize on the change to virtual.
