Your time is valuable in the workplace.
I want to give you some quick wins on how to help you come across more effectively with your body language
and a number of new workplace environments.
For starters how do you come across when you have to speak on video these days.
You could have a boss calling you on Skype video on an iPad on a webcam and you've got to talk to a
boss or colleague a client looking at a screen.
Here's some quick tips for you.
The biggest problem most people have when they are talking on Skype or FaceTime is the camera is too
low.
It's either on their desk or you're holding your phone below and the camera angle is shooting up your
nose which is not a flattering look.
Typically it's shooting into the ceiling where there are lights and the brightest thing on the screen
the lights it darkens your face it's an unflattering angle and it makes everyone look their worst.
Let me give you a quick tip if you're using a laptop or a computer on your desk just get a stack of
books prop the camera up higher.
What you want is the lens to be a couple of inches above your eyes kind of like mine.
Now that's a better angle on your face.
You'll look more comfortable confident it's much easier to light.
It won't be shooting up to the lights in the ceiling.
And if you've ever been to a wedding you probably noticed that the wedding photographer gets up sometimes
on a ladder and shoots down because when people are looking up it just makes them look better.
The double chins disappear hurt.
Everything looks more flattering.
So please do that quick simple tip.
A lot more to come.
Stay tuned.
