Get everyone looking great online!

When online, make sure everyone comes across on their A-game, so your customers’ first impression is buy-in. Remember that audiences assume that poor lighting, low sound quality, and poor visual appearance indicate less credibility. And you’ll lose your audience before you even begin!

To do this, my team and/or I:

1. Analyze the way you speak, assess your lighting setup and sound quality, camera angle, background, and break down your body language and visual appearance..
   
2. Give in-the-moment direct, detailed feedback targeted on those 5 elements..
   
3. Train you with bite-sized, easy-to-implement adjustments that target each element.
