“Michelle, I’ve shot a few videos but…I look so stiff!”, Nancy shared somewhat exasperated.
We were at a mastermind and I was curious what my highly sensitive preneur colleagues most needed help with around making videos.
“How do I get past the awkward-teenager-on-video phase and press the Publish Button?” Nancy was hoping for a shortcut!
Can you relate to this? I’ve certainly been there.
Alas, it is truly a developmental phase of video visibility that cannot be skipped over as you learn the skill of video. A rite of passage to surrender to imperfection and being SEEN, way out there– permanently!
Nancy was concerned, “Will it deposition me to be seen, looking soooooo…… un-on-top-of-it?”
This is a worthy concern based on an old paradigm that emphasizes outward appearances rather than authenticity and vulnerability. We’ve all been soaking in it for far too long. Nancy’s frustrations got me all fired up to make a 2 part video series addressing just this.
Last week I shared 1 way to help you hit the Publish button and in this part 2 video– I share 4 new ways– and one of them just might be the one that helps you!
You’ll learn my unconventional yet delightful approach to this somewhat irritating problem! 😉
- Be bold and ‘name it!’
- Perfectionism is not a crime
- Modeling vulnerability to your tribe enhances your Transformational Leadership
- Cheerlead yourself at 3 important steps
I hope you’ll share in the comments below if any of these strategies that I share in the video help you to press the Publish Button!
It means a lot to me that Nancy is willing to face her fears of being seen as a video newbie by the world. I can’t wait to watch her videos. She is brilliant and so are you. We are waiting to learn from you. Your message is incredibly important.
You may or may not think so. But I truly believe you have something very important to say- why? Because YOU matter. What you think and feel IS important. You are here for a reason. You may not know what it is yet, but I KNOW you are here with something to say.
I look forward to hearing you share your wisdom!
Go ahead! Hit the Publish Button!
And if you want some help around that or with uncovering what you are here to say, it would be my greatest pleasure to talk to you for 30 minutes in a “Dip Your Toe Into Video” complimentary Empowerment Session.
I realize that what keeps me relentlessly putting myself out there on video- even when I’m not in the mood!– is my passion to help those that are very sensitive to criticism and being seen so that they can step up and share their important message that is often locked up deep inside.
I was almost one of those people who would have kept silent, but luckily I had the mentorship and guidance to unlock what was yearning to come out. I am very grateful for all those angels and guides, human and intangible!
Cheering you on to discover, embrace and share your special message!
Share in the comments below what helps you press the Publish Button!
