If you have been enjoying the new Amplify Mercer Island reel series, then you won't want to miss this workshop.

Business Workshop: From Cringe to Confident: Permission to Stop Overthinking and Start Posting
with Sheena Kalso of Behind Your Scenes

Thursday, May 21st
11:30am-1:00pm
TBA 

 If you know you should be showing up on Instagram but keep freezing up, deleting everything, or avoiding video entirely, this month's mini workshop is your reset.

Sheena Kalso, content strategist and founder of Behind Your Scenes, will walk you through:

• Why Instagram feels so hard - How to reframe it as networking, not performing.
• The friction points stopping you from filming - and how to remove them from your actual workspace
• Simple filming techniques - Make any video look more professional (no fancy equipment needed)
• Hands-on practice time so you leave with real clips and newfound confidence

This isn’t theory. You’ll film something during the session, get real-time coaching, and walk out knowing exactly what to do next. Leave feeling confident in your video skills and encouraged that you can Instagram in a way that fits your personality and preferences. 

What to bring:
Your phone and a willingness to learn some new skills.
