Publicity

Having been nominated for a magazine's "list", it has made me realise a few things:

1. I do not do much publicity for my personal brand.  Yes I have brands that I promote (Rewind, Morganfield's), but not about myself.  This is probably a function of my own perspective of being humble about these things, preferring for people to experience the brands themselves instead of knowing them through me.  With this magazine opportunity, it is good to have some more recognition, in order to gain a stronger network

2. In order to fully leverage this opportunity, I have to improve my "on screen" ability.  That means more clarity of thought during interviews and other times when I am in front of a group.  A lot of it is just slowing down the speaking, so that I can sound more measured.

Keep focus on the following:
1.  Embrace the opportunity.  Want to be involved, want to meet new people, want to learn to do it better.  Much like language learning, there is a very high likelihood of looking a bit foolish, but why not?

2. Demonstrate my values.  Answer with respect to the people around me, appreciate the good qualities that everyone has at least to some degree.  No need to display showmanship, just self-assurance. Be grateful for being in a cool event with some potentially good people.

I am looking forward to the photo shoot!  Strong jaw line!
