A super simple strategy that most people aren’t leveraging in the workplace? *Where do I sign up? *
It’s completely centered around video.
**slowly backs out of the room**
We get it. Video can be intimidating, a smidge uncomfortable and maybe a little unnatural.
But the gem of a human being featured on the podcast today will hopefully help you set aside those fears and make practical changes that’ll add a unique twist to your current video practices.
Oh, and they’re practically painless. Promise.
In this episode, you’ll hear Erin chat with Kerry Barrett. Kerry is an Emmy award-winning broadcast news anchor, reporter and producer, turned public speaking and media coach and trainer, who helps others bring their stories to life with confidence and personality. And you know, no big deal or anything, but you may have even seen Kerry on a few internationally renowned media institutions like NBC, ABD and Fox tv stations.
Ok, ok that’s kind of a big deal.
Even with that impressive lineup though, Kerry is most known for overcoming a massive and debilitating fear of public speaking. Now, she uses her experience to help business professionals move from obscurity to visibility through the power of video.
The way Kerry talks about video makes it seem like a natural and an attainable process, but even more so, it’s rooted around building an authentic connection with whomever is on the other side of the screen.
So, if you want to stand out from the crown and learn how to leverage the power of video authentically, this is an episode you’re not going to want to miss.

“It was a whole series of steps and missteps that finally got me to a place of competence where I could at least act like I was confident until I was able to get where I was headed.”
“While I didn't have strategy and I didn't have a lot of knowledge, what I had was the ability to put myself out there.”
“We just have to recognize that if I'm never going to meet this person in person, I've got to use every single asset that I have to make sure that we have the best likelihood of connecting on the camera as we possibly can have.”
“Figure out what works best for you and what you feel more comfortable with. And then, put your own personal style into whatever method it is that you choose.”
“You may not be technically savvy or camera savvy, but there is a way to the end. And if you have somebody guiding you or if you have time to do the research on your own, it's actually pretty easy to get there.”
“If you are putting yourself out there and you're getting some flack for it, it's not because of what you're doing.
"It's because somebody is punching up because you're making them insecure about their own place and presence in the world.”
