MEET THE INSTRUCTOR

I'm Erin, I've been a remote freelancer since 2012 and have grown my business to high 5-figures by engaging with my clients via video. Video conferencing can deepen connections, help make remote work feel less "lonely," and land new business - but only if it's done correctly. Bad sound, lighting, or misusing the mute button can break a call. I created this course to help you put your best foot forward and look your most professional self.

Who this course is for:

  • People who work remotely
  • People who work from home
  • People are transitioning from office jobs to working from home
  • Teachers leading online classes
  • People who are interviewing for jobs via video
