tv interview

I had the honor of being asked for an interview on the INsight TV program which is produced by Suzie Daggett, publisher of the directory of same name that focuses on mind, body, & spirit. My very first interview for Project Simplify was aired last night! The interviewer was fellow Toastmaster Lori Burkart-Frank, who is, when not interviewing for the program, a Life Coach.

Ah, to see a visual representation of oneself! Yikes! Do I really sound like that?! Look like that? Getting over the initial Oh-My-Gosh of it all, I'll say that I'm relatively pleased with the whole deal. Of course there are many improvements (like not looking like a stiff board) to be made and additional concepts to cover.

One answer I'd like to change was in response to what I've studied, or philosophies contributing to where I am now. This was my opportunity to highlight some important influences and I biffed mightily. Really, I was a bit overwhelmed by the question. Every single person in my life, every book I've read, every experience lived has contributed to shaping who I am today. Where to begin!?!? I'll work on that question for next time :)

Here are two ammendments, with more to follow in time:

Yoga has been a huge influence in my life. Physically, mentally, & spiritually, yoga has continually helped me 'come back to center' and to myself.

Very specific to my work, Stephen Covey is a pioneer in time and life management whose writings successfully bring universal principals into our day to day living. Most specifically, his book First Things First.
