When I'm doing a training with an executive or a CEO, a political figure, and we do a sample interview, I record the person and then we look at it. Always they want to just fixate on the negative. Big problem. Big mistake. People think they learn by being told what's wrong. That's not how people learn.

You don't tell your three year old Oh, you fell down. You'll never walk. You're a complete idiot. Give up. That's not what you do. Your two or three year old takes a step.

Falls down just as great step. That's fantastic. My daughter was skiing this past weekend she fell down a bunch I didn't so downhill ski when she was able to go 15 feet smoothly and not fall. That's what I focused on. That's what I praised. I wonder thinking about that time when she's going down making the nice slow curve down the button.

Hell. Now I'm not being condescending, I realize you're not a two year old or five year old or a small child. But we all have egos. We're all human beings. So if you practice, your media interview or your speech on camera, and you just focus on what you don't like, What's wrong, what's bad, you know, others comment on it, it's not going to build your confidence, it's not going to build your self esteem. So what I do is I focus, and I go into more detail on this on the media training section of this course.

But I really focus on everything the person is doing well, and that's what I'd recommend you do when you do a practice, interview, you're practicing your message points or sound bites. The first time you look at it, practice and just focus on what you liked. What's working, make an actual list of every thing you liked about how you You're coming across
