So here it is, my first video blog. Watch in wonder as I move and talk in perfect harmony, while giving you some confidence building tips.
I’ve boiled down a bunch of what I’ve learned about confidence to give you a simple, 5 step process for being more confident. This is as simple and effective as it gets. Let me know what you think.
Note: You see those grey hairs? They were put there individually in post production – those are all CGI grey hairs. The same guys worked on this that put the armies of orc’s into Lord of the Rings. Very cool.

Ha ha! Great first one, Steve! Check that! (And that was a good distance from the camera, good clarity, nice backdrop – how many CDs do you own?)
Rinse and repeat. Aye!

Great video blog post! My problem is, when I do open myself up to those things in step 1, recognize what I’m hiding from in step 2, take that risk in step 3…step 4. I do laugh, but it’s usually like “you idiot…how stupid did you look?” I just can’t seem to shake it and it causes me to not want to repeat.
I think I shared a little too much.

Hey steve, good clarity have a couple of ideas I want to do myself but you’re ahead of me on stuff. Anyway, try either writing your points on whiteboard or have graphics/text come into the screen to expand what you’re talking about. Talking head gets old after a while. Light seemed to come and go..might mute light if from window.

@Rosy: You’re very welcome hun.
@James: With my bald patch, rinse and repeat is just a metaphor these days…
@Chad: Not too much at all. The key is to reframe that stuff as no big deal – as long as you think it matters it will. Say it with me – “It just doesn’t matter”.
@Joe: The video’s are a work in progress and I’ll be trying a few different things out. Thanks for the tips.
@Kate: Thanks Kate – much appreciated.
