0916 – Remind Yourself Why You Care

2023.07.05 – 0916 – Remind Yourself Why You Care Remind yourself why you careWhy is this broadcast, podcast or voice-over opportunity important to you? Tell yourself, out loud, how excited you are about this what it is that you, the product, or your guest are about to share with listeners. From your perspective, you really know that this is what you want to do, and you’ve put yourself in this situation:·        You’ve dreamt of having your own radio show·        You’ve trained hard to be a VO·        You’ve chosen to start a podcast·        You’ve been flattered when asked to be a guest on a YouTube discussion. It’s precisely because we want to stretch ourselves (perhaps for self-satisfaction, public admiration or financial gain – and there’s nothing wrong with any of that), that we put ourselves into situations that we’ve not encountered before. And doing something new will inevitably show up our weaknesses.  Write down the skills and strengths that’ve helped you get to where you are now. The courses and conferences, exercises and exams. Doing this will help give you comfort and confidence and a sense of positivity. If someone else thinks you’re good enough to do the job, why don’t you? The word ‘confidence’ comes from the Latin ‘confidere’ meaning to ‘have full trust’. Now you need to have full trust in yourself, that you can do this.  Hosted on Acast.
