Posture and Presence: How to Sit or Stand for Authority | The VidConcierge Show with Dr. Walter Salubro
Episode Overview
Most health professionals think authority on camera comes from their words. But before your audience hears a single word, your posture is already speaking.
The way you sit or stand instantly influences whether viewers see you as credible and confident, or unsure and unprepared. Posture sets the tone for trust, attention, and connection.
In this episode of The VidConcierge Show, Dr. Walter Salubro explains how posture and presence shape authority on camera and shares four techniques you can apply immediately to elevate your status as the go-to expert in your viewer’s mind.
