Becoming Magnetic with Shirlee | Ep 141
If the thought of going on camera makes you want to crawl under your desk, this episode is for you.
I’m joined by on-camera confidence coach and former TV journalist Shirley Engel, and we’re getting painfully honest about what it really takes to show up on video as a travel advisor.
We talk about:
- Why your first videos (and emails, and podcasts…) will absolutely suck—and why that’s not a problem
- How to watch yourself back on camera without ripping yourself to shreds
- The real fear underneath “I’m not confident on camera” (hint: it’s usually about being seen, not the camera itself)
- How to stop creating travel “wallpaper” and start creating content that actually converts to inquiries
- Practical ways to start: mirror work, elevator pitches, B-roll, and treating video like you’re FaceTiming one person
If you’ve ever said “I’m too busy for video” while also wishing you had more clients, this conversation is the loving smack upside the head you didn’t know you needed.
