If you’re an introvert who feels hesitant about showing up on camera, this week’s episode of The Ambitious Introvert® Podcast is for you. I’m joined by Shirlee Engel, a former TV correspondent turned entrepreneur and coach, who now helps business owners and professionals develop a magnetic on-camera presence.
Shirlee shares how introverts can develop the confidence needed to shine on camera—whether you’re using video for your business, career, or personal brand. She breaks down how the skills needed for camera confidence extend far beyond the screen, helping clients to present themselves with authority in all areas of life.
Tune in to hear Shirlee and I discuss:
- Why camera confidence is a learnable skill, and how introverts can excel with just a few of the right techniques
- The power of body language, voice, and mindset in improving your on-camera presence
- How to engage your audience by combining strategic messaging and delivery skills
- Shirlee’s advice for overcoming camera anxiety (spoiler alert - preparation and consistent practice are key!)
- The role video plays in building trust, visibility, and credibility—no matter your career or industry
If you’ve ever felt nervous or uncertain about putting yourself out there on video, this episode will give you practical tools and insights to help you show up confidently and authentically.
