Quick heads up0:50
Powerful Branding Tools - Video presenting is a very important branding strategy4:47
I believe that creating video presentations is one of the best tools ever to positively impact your brand image and connect with your audience.
If you have a business, it helps you to build a stronger brand, but even if you don’t have one, your personal brand is extremely important.
Needless to say, mastering your video presentation skills is an extremely important branding strategy.
Building Loyalty - One video can say more than a thousand pictures5:16
They say that picture can say more than a thousand words. Well, it’s true. However, I would like to go a step further and propose that video can say more than a thousand pictures.

Introduction - The "F" word3:44
Fear of presenting is one of the biggest challenges you might have to face during your video recording process. It doesn't matter whether the room is full of people or you're all by yourself. Speech anxiety might still appear.
The First Step - Don't stare at your fears without taking any action5:37
So, how to overcome fear?

Think of an apple... What's going happen to it if you stare at it for too long?

It's going to rot.

Well, the same thing will happen to your confidence if you stare at your fears for to long without taking any action.
The Downward Spiral -Just because you feel it, doesn't mean that they can see it3:57
Just because you experience a fear of presenting, doesn't mean that other people can see it.
Even if you are afraid and anxious, you can still appear to be extremely confident.
The Camera Is Not Your Enemy - Change your perception of the camera6:21
When you look at the camera, it's just about your perception of what camera is.
It can either become your worse enemy or your biggest ally.
Focus On Adding Value - Stop focusing on yourself & start delivering value3:16

Many people get stressed out, because they focus on themselves too much instead of focusing on how they can deliver value to their audience.

Introduction0:53
In this section I will talk about writing a script that delivers a compelling and easy to digest, message to your audience.

It's All About Perception - A proof that everything starts in your mind3:59
In this video I will share with you a very powerful story. I'm confident that it will help you to change that perception of presenting in front of the camera.
This story will prove to you that everything starts with your mind.

The First Impression - Make a positive impact or they will close the video5:13
In this video I will concentrate on how to make a good first impression.
It doesn't matter that people don't meet you face to face. The first impression is still something that will have a great impact on them. It will determine whether they will keep on watching your video or simply close the browser window.
The Power Of Stories - Learn how to tell a story and take them on a journey8:43
Storytelling is a very powerful tool that should be used by every video presenter.
Understanding how to tell a story in the right way will enable you to take your audience on an amazing journey...
Speak Their Language - Make your message simple and easy to digest3:09
One of the most important things, I will discuss in this presentation skills training, is that you have to speak the language of your audience.
Manage Your State - Feel like a winner and you will be perceived as a winner8:35
Changing your mindset before your presentation will have an enormous impact on your presentation overall.
If you feel confident, if you will like a winner, then your audience's perception will be exactly the same.

Stop dreading the camera. Start owning it.

You'll learn how to handle nerves before you hit record, structure what you say so it actually lands, and use your body and voice the way confident on-camera communicators do, without sounding scripted or stiff.
