Speak. Record. Share. - Breakthrough and BE SEEN
Breakthrough and BE SEEN — Together!
The world has changed.
People no longer discover companies only through websites, pitch decks, or polished press releases.
They discover people - Energy. Stories. Momentum.
Today, founders who can communicate through video — authentically and consistently — have a massive advantage.
But for many builders, speaking on camera still feels uncomfortable:
“What do I say?”
“Do I sound awkward?”
“What if nobody watches?”
“I’m better at building than promoting.”
This gathering is designed to break through that fear together.
Hosted by Weihaur Lau - BeAwaken Founder and Coach
Join us as we practice the simple but powerful loop of:
