Wendy saltzman biography

Three-time Emmy Award Winning Investigative Journalist, Wendy Saltzman, spent more than two decades working on-camera in television news. Wendy now runs her own media conglomerate, Philly Power Media. Introduced by a mutual friend at a Power of Professional WoMen event in Philadelphia, Wendy and I immediately connected because we realized we had much in common.

Wendy and I have spent time together connecting, getting to know one another, and supporting each other in the growth of our businesses since then. Having worked in media for over 23 years, launching 3 investigative teams and traveling all over the country, Wendy is no stranger to being on camera. During her time as an investigative reporter, Wendy realized that she has the ability to truly help people.

She shares that she had always had a dream about starting a business where she could help people and how her breast cancer was the impetus to launching Philly Power Media. Running her own company give Wendy the opportunity to do something she is passionate about, helping people with public speaking, media interviews, and presentation skills training.

Taking her 23 years of media experience telling stories, she helps companies put out videos to promote themselves across the internet, social media, and via email. Wendy has some wonderful tips for all of us about getting comfortable on camera. Zoom does allow you to get comfortable in front of camera. When she coaches people on video she encourage to remember that this is a conversation.

It makes it easier to engage because it makes your speech pattern much more natural. Some people struggle to connect on an energetic level when they first start out with video, they feel like they are confined to a box.

B.A.

Pretend that a friend or family member is on the other side, she says this is particularly helpful if you are on a live TV interview or giving a presentation. Think about how you would talk to the person you are imagining, and the conversation will be much more natural. Eye contact is very important when you are trying to connect with your audience.
