TJ WALKER - THE HABIT INFLUENCER - Personal Development | LIVE STREAM

What do you do if you're in the middle of a media interview and you forget what you're going to say next, especially if you're on TV or radio or it's live TV and radio that is often the most stressful for people? Here's the answer. Do nothing. Simply stop, smile and look at the reporter as if you just said the most brilliant thing, thorough and complete answer anyone has ever given. Inside, you may be thinking, oh no, what's my second point? What's my third point? But outside, I want you to project complete confidence, calm, and the sense that you can't believe how well this interview is going. You don't have to be perfect when you're doing a media interview. The reality is the audience is not going to be able to read your mind. They're not going to know you forgot something unless you put an expression on your face like oh, I forgot stuff. Or if you apologize. Don't ever apologize during an interview. You can talk about your self doubts and critique yourself after the interview when you're watching the video or listening to the audio of it. But in the interview, you need to act like you're completely comfortable, confident, relaxed. You can't believe how well this is going to it's not the moments when you forget what you want to say in an interview that will be memorable to people. It's your reactions to forgetting what to say. If you say, oh my gosh, I forgot what I'm going to say, oh, I lost my train of thought. That's what people will remember. If you don't tell them there's a problem, they won't figure it out. Most of the time.
