Let's talk about something a lot of us ponder over—teleprompters. Do we love them, hate them, or just not want to mess with them at all? Well, as someone who’s spent years in front of the camera, here’s my take. Teleprompters can be both a friend and a foe. They're fantastic when you're super keen on hitting all your key points, like when you’re talking about a new product or service. But, and it’s a big but, they can make you sound robotic. And that's a no-go if your aim is to connect deeply with your audience. Trust me, people want the vibrant, human you—not a monotone reader. My advice? Ditch the prompter when you can. Jot down a few key bullet points and speak from the heart. Your authenticity will shine through, and that's what engages people. But if you find yourself needing that safety net of a teleprompter, practice until your reading voice sounds as lively as your speaking one. In this 5 minute episode you’ll learn: Tips on how to effectively use a teleprompter The importance of using bullet points to guide your video presentations The situations where using a teleprompter might be beneficial Recommendations for teleprompter apps Keep pushing your on-camera skills. It’s worth it. And hey, if you're interested in more tips about being dynamic on camera, follow me on Instagram or LinkedIn!

How do you not sound cheesy or salesy on video? It's all about shifting your mindset from selling to teaching.

But here's a tip: focus on delivering educational content. If you're curious to learn more about creating engaging videos, feel free to connect with me on Instagram, LinkedIn, or my YouTube channel!

Trae Bodge is a successful lifestyle writer and TV commentator who made the brave leap from beauty brand founder to creating her own unique space in retail and shopping expertise. I loved discussing our shared experiences of separating our identities from our corporate personas. After Trae left RetailMeNot , she discovered that her value wasn't tied to a corporate email address or brand name, but rather to their skills, relationships, and reliability. One of my favorite moments was discussing those inevitable TV mishaps, like when Steve Harvey and Rachael Ray mispronounced Trae’s name on air. But what really resonated was Trae’s advice about finding "white space" - not just following your passion, but identifying what people actually need and where there's room in the market. Her journey from beauty entrepreneur to becoming one of the go-to shopping experts for major networks is a testament to the power of reinvention and staying true to your expertise. And now, she's launching a foundation to help other midlife entrepreneurs, which perfectly exemplifies how success can come full circle into giving back.
