Give yourself 10 minutes leading up to the event to get your head right. Yes, I said get your head right :). I meditate, listen to music, dance or even do some stretching. This allows me to turn the noise off in my head and hyper focus so when I show up I am engaged and active. Close your door and turn any unnecessary technology and notifications off so you are not distracted.
BONUS!!!! Smile, make eye contact with your camera lens when you are speaking, and sit or stand in power posture!
Your charisma is elevated when you feel confident, equipped and enthusiastic. Taking good care of yourself, showing up prepared, participating in the chat, owning the right equipment and adopting a pre-event focus routine will increase your visibility, influence and profits!!
