Present A Professional Image…On Video (Introduction/Overview)

This is a preview of a program I developed for how to present a professional image on video (for video profiles). The video was shot and digitally edited by a professional videographer (Tim Fahey). The content was developed by me (Sylvia Henderson). I invite constructive comments as to whether you would invest in such a program for yourself or for your organization, as well as ancillary educational materials to help you put the concepts into practice.

The video gives you some content, right here, while you try it out! Accompanying the video (which is just an introduction and overview of the program content) will be a workbook, slides, workshop facilitation (90 minutes-to-3 hours depending on the client), and a possible webinar.

Program Description

Video profiles are emerging as necessary tools to complement resumes and pre-screen for interviews in job searches. They are also effective business preview tools for potential client and partnering considerations, and can present the initial face to your business or nonprofit for potential investors and donors. Amateur antics and editing typical of personal video posts are poor reflections of the quality of your experiences and capabilities.

Just as with your written business proposals and marketing materials, you must convey a level of professionalism about you and your organization in your video profiles. In this session you will receive and share tools and processes for presenting the best business image you can when you post your videos online.

To project your professional work ethic and capabilities into your video profiles, the actionable information you will take from this session includes:

• Considerations for preparing your video profile
• Research suggestions
• How to look and sound professional on camera

Your video profile may be viewed by people worldwide. You never know when it is being viewed and by whom. Make yourself look and sound your best on every video so that you are congruent with what you say you and your business can do, and who you say you are, in print, on screen, and in person.
