Only Human

Hello all! Over the past couple of weeks, I have spoken to more Pr folk than I have since pretty much ever: beauty PR, fashion PR, event PR , the list is endless but it seems that for every product/brand/celeb there is a relevant PR person and I have done it ALL.

For some reason, I felt super nervous on the first few interactions; so much so that on more than one occasion, I was re-introduced to my childhood s-t-t-tutter. Now that I think about it, I am not even too sure WHY I was so afraid of these faceless names but I soon learnt the secret to handling industry folk and that is to remember that they are ONLY HUMAN!! Once I had truly come to accept this fact, it was as if I had gained access to Moses’ staff and I could part through the Red Sea of industry folk that had previously intimidated me.

The good thing is that I learnt the trick in the nick of time because a couple of days ago, I got to meet Michele Paradise [who obviously has had a successful modelling career] and whereas previously I would have been a smidgen tongue tied in the presence of a celebrity, instead it was easy like Sunday morning…

So remember people [especially those of you that actually want to be a model], you are only ever as intimidated as you allow yourself to be; in this industry , confidence is KEY!! Xoxo
