Halelly Goes to Vlogland - Welcome, and 2 Requests

What are your big goals for this year? How are you forwarding your action on achieving them?

Well one of my goals this year was to venture into the wonderful world of video blogging. And I've decided to just leap into the deep end. So - here is my first 'vlog'. I hope you like it - and please give me suggestions and feedback. Thanks!

Great Job Halelly!
You are always so inspiring. You set goals and make them happen. That is a scary thing for me.
I have an idea, get excited and then lose interest, get stuck or get overwhelmed.

I would like to hear about how to deal with a boss you can't connect with. My boss is threatened by me and stands in the way of my growth. Suggestions?

Thanks for your kind words, Allison. I'm not always successful, but I do always try! Set yourself small chunks that are not as scary as the whole thing - like I say, 'baby steps'....

Thanks for the suggestion for topic. That's a tough situation, for sure. There are lots of questions I want to ask - was it always this way, is this person like that with others or just you? How do you *know* he/she is threatened by you? What have you already tried?

Nice. Authentic, sincere, friendly, helpful.

Suggestions: widen out to a mid shot and show your hands. Try to be a little bit more animated even if you are still talking in place. Create at least one visual that reinforces your point, even if it's a simple sketch on a flip chart or white board. Not sure if you are writing this or speaking to an outline but it would be better if it were simply shorter and more to the point.

Good luck with your future VLOGS. This is a very good start.

Awesome specific suggestion, Gregg! Thanks for your feedback, I truly appreciate it!

Hi Halelly,
It takes a lot of courage to video and publish your goal to the world! And then to also ask for feedback. Very bold indeed.

Content - emotional intelligence

Suggestion - I agree with Gregg. I know you and you seem confined by the camera. You are way more expressive in real life.

I will look out for more videos!

Michelle - thank you so much for your comment!
Sorry for the delayed response - I actually responded the next day and now I see it never got captured...
I appreciate your input, your kind support, and the feedback!
EQ: you got it! :)
My best,
Halelly
