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
