Camera Shy to Camera Confident - 6 week group course

From feeling camera shy and dreading turning your zoom video on or sharing a story on Insta, to feeling like you are in control of all your video interactions!

Over 6 weeks you'll learn how to tackle the tech, change your mindset and use storytelling to be engaging in your video communications.

From Instagram lives, Youtube videos, Zoom meetings and all in between, go from Camera Shy to Camera Confident!

Who is this course for?

Anyone who wants to feel more confident on camera, whether you spend your days in zoom meetings, feeling utterly dreaded of the "what are your thoughts on..." question or even just turning your camera on, or you have an online profile (business or personal) but the thought of going live or sharing your face on Stories is the stuff of nightmares to you.
