I have learned, as the slow learner that I am, that visibility is more important in developing ones own personal brand than skills alone.

Just joined toastmasters, picked up a no. of books, and learning about communication frameworks.

I plan to record myself and watch them back to make a list. Then will take one item, that if resolved, would bring the highest ROI in maintaining positive audience attention and executive presence.

Any feedback on my method choice?

Just a note: initially it's cringing (and embarrassing) watching and listening to yourself on a recording. Over time, though, you'll become accustomed to it and you'll figure out how to best present yourself on and off camera.

Most of all, though: Have fun with it.

Pro tip: start with a mirror.

Great start! When you have recorded yourself a few times, try turning the camera on your audience when you present. You can learn a lot from watching them watch your presentation!
