Why video keeps getting pushed to next month.
Getting Past the Camera Freeze is a free seven-lesson series from Emmy-winning former NYC news anchor Kerry Barrett. It explains what happens in your body when you press record, and it gets your first recording done today.
If this sounds familiar
"I'll start once I feel more comfortable on camera."
"I should plan it more carefully first."
"I'm too busy this quarter."
"That doesn't even look like me."
You make hard decisions every week. You've pushed through discomfort everywhere else in your career.
Talking to a camera still keeps sliding to next month.
Maybe you've tried to solve it already. You bought the ring light. You hired a production company. You wrote one more LinkedIn post. The videos still need you.
That pattern has a cause.
Once you see it, you can interrupt it.
