Evening Magazine with John Curley

On Thursday I co-hosted Evening Magazine with John Curley.  It was a fun experience to see how shows are put together and to be part of it.  I have had a couple of days to think about my biggest takeaway.  I have concluded that it is something I learned from John Curley, the show's long time host and true genius.  What I learned is to live in the moment and trust what you see around you and talk about it.  I have always relied on being prepared--and preparation being defined as knowing what I am going to say.  John showed me that truly being prepared is to trust your talent and pay more attention to entertaining your audience and being yourself than hitting every note by following the script.   I will use this experience and work towards focusing more on the delivery than the content. 

I will be posting the video when I receive it.

That's a great piece of wisdom, Amy. John is definitely himself. So much so he rarely hints of being scripted.
