CONFIDENT ON CAMERA
Stop overthinking it. Start showing up.

Monday 17th August 2026 | 7pm | Starling, Harrogate

You know your stuff. If I asked you about your business face-to-face, you could happily talk about it for half an hour. But put a phone in front of you and press record? Suddenly you've forgotten your own name.

You don't know where to look. Your hands have become weird. You're painfully aware of your voice. You've said the same sentence 14 times and somehow it's getting worse. So you delete it... and make another Canva graphic instead!

Sound familiar? 😂

This workshop is for you.

You KNOW you should be showing your face more.

You see other business owners casually chatting away on Stories and Reels and think..."I wish I could do that." Because you can see what it's doing for their business.

✅ Their audience gets to know them.

✅ They hear their personality.

✅ They see their expertise.

✅ They start to trust them.

And when they're ready to buy, THAT business already feels familiar. That's one of the biggest advantages you've got as a small business.

YOU are part of the reason people choose you.

But right now, you're hiding the best bit of your business behind your graphics all because you're scared of getting it wrong.

So that's what we're fixing.

This isn't a workshop about becoming a presenter. I'm not teaching you how to create perfectly polished videos (because nobody connects with perfection anymore!) and I am absolutely NOT going to make you record yourself in a room full of people.

I wouldn't come either 😂

Instead, we're going to remove as many of the things making talking to camera feel scary as possible.

We'll cover:

• Why you can talk confidently to a customer but completely freeze when you press record, and how to get past it.
• How to set yourself up so you actually feel good on camera: lighting, framing, sound, eye contact and background.
• What to say so you're not staring into the lens wondering how you've suddenly forgotten everything you know.
• When to use bullet points, when to script and when a teleprompter can save your sanity.
• How to film in small sections instead of trying to nail the whole bloody thing in one take.
• The easiest types of talking videos to start with before working your way up to the scarier stuff.
• Different types of hooks so you know how to START the video.
• What tools can make the whole process quicker and less overwhelming.
• Why the little mistakes you're obsessing over probably make absolutely no difference to the person watching.

Most importantly, you'll leave with a repeatable method you can use whenever you want to record.

❌ No more 47 takes.

❌ No more recording something, watching it back, deciding you look like a knob and deleting the lot.

❌ No more waiting until you magically "feel confident enough."

You don't get confident and THEN start.

You start. And that's how you get confident.

I know because I've been there. I was bloody terrified before I posted my first talking Story. I was convinced I'd look stupid, that people would judge me and that I'd come across as cringe. That was almost a decade ago, and this workshop is exactly what I wish I'd had back then.

Your ticket includes

Your place at Confident on Camera, a welcome drink at Starling and the usual Yorkshire Indie mix of learning, laughing, asking questions and meeting other women who understand exactly what running a small business is actually like.

And just to say it one more time for the people whose palms started sweating at the thought...

YOU WILL NOT BE ASKED TO FILM YOURSELF DURING THE WORKSHOP 😂

You can do your first one at home, in peace with nobody watching.

Then post the bloody thing. ❤️

Early Bird — £13 + booking fee

Once they're gone, Access Tickets are £16 + booking fee.

Agenda

🕑: 07:00 PM - 07:10 PM
Arrive & Grab Your FREE Drink

Info: Alcoholic & Non-alcoholic drinks are available from the bar, just give your name and quote "Yorkshire Indie" to receive anything up to £5.00 (if you fancy something more expensive, don't worry, feel free to top up the difference, the bar staff will sort that for you!)

🕑: 07:10 PM - 07:30 PM
Networking

Info: We are NOT a sell, sell, sell kinda networking event. We're a community of like-minded, rebellious business owners who get to know each other, provide support, pass referrals and MAKE FRIENDS! Through community building, sales naturally come.

🕑: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PM
Workshop

Info: Every month, there is a 60-minute workshop that is designed and delivered with YOU in mind, to help you build confidence, grow your business and make more sales.

🕑: 08:30 PM - 09:00 PM
Networking & Q&A

Info: Utilise this time to pick my brains about anything you need clarifying, because I'm here to help you. I want to make sure you go home feeling confident and informed.

🕑: 09:00 PM - 10:00 PM
(Optional) After Party

Info: This is where we head down into the bar, take our business hats off and get to know each other on a deeper level. This bit is totally optional, and there's no pressure. We started doing this because I found a lot of business owners love having the opportunity to get out of the house and socialise with like-minded people... and want to keep that going an extra hour before heading back to the grind!
