On this week’s GoalChat, we talked about Presence with Chrissy Bernal, Be A Better Brand; Stacia Crawford, Stay Ready Media; and Laura Doman, Your Digital Stage. Chrissy is all about owning your brand, Laura uses her acting background to help people be real on camera, and Stacia gets experts seen on TV. No matter what your business – whether it’s a Zoom meeting or meeting – you need to show up, embodying your authenticity and passion.
Chrissy, Stacia, and Laura talked about their missions, takes on if presence is nature or nurture – it’s both, and how to be authentic without using that over-used buzzword.
