September 18, 2019Insta Stories: Marketing with a twist of becoming human.
For the first time we have an opportunity for what I call wall-less and door-less marketing where we get seen.
This is business, right? So, I had to deal with it. I didn’t want to do any public speaking—I was asked to come into classes, be on panels, and even moderate a ‘Why We Hire You’ event years ago for the APA. I was scared. At first, I thought, ‘No, I can’t do public speaking. I get too nervous.’ But then I just started doing it. I told myself, ‘This is my business; I’m going to do it.’ I was scared to death and would have preferred not to, but certain things came naturally to me that I didn’t know I had the ability to do.
Like right now, the camera’s on, and I’m talking, and somehow the words are just coming out—hopefully in a way that’s helpful. I took the leap, and sometimes I think there’s something within you, as an artist, that you can tap into without even realizing it until you start. You push yourself, and you find that stuff that just needs to happen.
