Shelly Golden's Zoom Face Article in SFO Chronicle

In a letter to the editor of San Francisco Chronicle, Shelley Golden, professional presence consultant, Zoom Makeover expert and founder of Shelley Golden Style, responded to an article about cosmetic procedures that improve how one appears on Zoom and other video platforms. She noted that stress about appearance is real, it cuts across society, and suggested no-cost techniques that can mitigate worries about how one appears on Zoom. Because the letter is behind the publication’s paywall, read it here on my LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6880003946539302
