12. December 2007 by DSJC.
Back in October, I was honored by my publisher, Beverly Vote, at Breast Cancer Wellness magazine when she asked me to be a guest on the blog talk radio show she produces — Inspire! I did the show as a guest and had a great time. A week or so later, she called me and gave me a jolt. She wanted me to become a co-host on the show.
Though I was nervous at the thought, I said, “Yes,” and I’ve been having a blast ever since. It’s a great feeling knowing that I’m offering what I can to inspire breast cancer survivors both with my writing and via the Internet talk show. To listen to the show, go to: http://www.breastcancerwellness.org/inspire-internet-radio-show.html.
My point is, I felt that fear (the nervousness) and did it anyway. Why? Because that’s how we grow, AND it gave me an opportunity to share, which is what PR, writing and advocacy is all about - sharing information, sharing thoughts, sharing content.
With today’s show, I came full circle to the concept of feeling the fear and doing it anyway. That’s because my co-host, Karen (discussingbreastcancer.com) and I interviewed the amazing Dr. Susan Jeffers, whose book, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway inspired me about 20 years ago to take my first steps alone into the world and again later on my receiving my breast cancer diagnosis. It was an honor to interview her today. Now, Jeffers shares her insights and guidance via 18 books at http://www.susanjeffers.com/home/index.cfm.
She may not be a PR professional, but you could say that Dr. Susan Jeffers is one of the people who taught me how to share. I’d say you are right.
DSJC.
