How can you look good in video? A lot of people know that having a video will help them connect better with far more people than they could meet in person.

Video accounts for half of web traffic, and this is only set to grow.

Lots of small business people I speak to realise that if their competition has video on their website and they don't they're not getting as strong a chance of winning business.

I'm running a half day workshop on June 4 in South Melbourne called, 'Video Confident; Script & Deliver.' We will be writing some scripts, practising delivering them and getting some tips on how to get the most out of video. If you're in Melbourne, there are 5 spots left, come join us!

We're not looking for perfect presentation, but some human connection.

That's what makes the big difference between you and an animation. Besides, the more we see someone's face, the more we like them. (Yes, there are exceptions, but as a general rule, there are some great social psychology studies that support this) We gravitate towards people we know, like and trust. If we do video well, we have a much better chance of creating that connection.

Facebook execs say Facebook will be all video in 5 years. This is above the prediction that video will take 80% of web traffic by 2019. Australia is one of the leading consumers of video online. A lot of people are doing video, but not a lot of people are doing it well. What can help? Knowing what to say, and how to say it are key. We are now offering coaching on Script and Delivery via skype.
The one thing you should know? Coming across as warm and friendly is the most important thing in your videos. A lot of people get very serious in front of a camera, and it makes them look serious, and well, not like the kind of person you would want to spend time with, let alone do business. We are currently scripting and filming a series of top tips to get the most out of your video communications (and still be authentically you) Keep an eye out for it!

How to change your confidence in two minutes. I'm writing an article about this for a new magazine right now. If you haven't seen this Ted Talk, check it out. It could change how you feel in high-stakes situations in the future.

Body language affects how others see us, but it may also change how we see ourselves. Social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows how “power posing” -- standing in a posture of confidence, even when we don’t feel confident -- can affect testosterone and cortisol levels in the brain, and might even have an i…

This is a little riff on surfing, and the weekend retreat we had by the beach where I got to coach presence and communication with Therese Sheedy teaching us how to be more present and mindful, and Warwick Merry helping us to stretch to bigger goals, and help us be on track for the year ahead.

The other weekend I presented (and participated) at a residential retreat for mindfulness, presence and success;  a kickoff for 2016. We all travelled to Phillip Island, off the coast in Victoria.

Getting proper rest and being able to be in the moment for both work and time off are important to avoid burn out. Therese Sheedy has an interesting perspective on how we might let ourselves recharge properly.
