On The HomeStretch- Internet Radio Guest- Mona Weathers

on-the-homestretch-internet-radio-guest-mona-weathers

So, I did it. I had my first internet radio interview. I was an experience I will never forget. I was extremely nervous and not sure I made a whole lot of sense but at least it's done and over with ;o).
Debbie Alan, is a great host and I appreciate her having such a novice on the show. Though I prepared for the show for weeks, my nerves got the best of me. So when you listen to the broadcast understand that there are things I wish I could have said differently or not at all.
There are a few things I wish I had mentioned. I wish I had mentioned the co-authors of HerProBlog.COM because they are really a vital part of the site. I also wish I had elaborated more on the purpose of HerProBlog.COM. It's a great site and I don't think I did it justice by my explanation.
Overall, I think the interview was an experience I can learn from. I now have the opportunity to improve myself. Public speaking is definitely one of my weaknesses. The interview experience has motivated me to develop better public speaking skills.
A friend of mine, Stacy, gave me some advice on public speaking and interviewing before the show. If it were not for her things would have gone much differently in the interview. Stacy coached me and gave me a few mock interviews that were extremely helpful.

So what have I taken away from this experience?

  1. Like with anything, there must be a first time. It's important to learn from your first experiences and improve yourself.
  2. Think of mistakes as opportunities for improvement. No one becomes an expert overnight. Mistakes can teach us if we allow them to.
