Interviewee Info & Prep
An an interviewee, you will have a chance to inspire women with your own take on the 3 Ls (Live, Laugh, Learn). Through your own experience as a woman abroad, sharing your story about ups and downs and the learnings on beliefs, assumptions, and personal identity. A proposed format is below, but the interviews are meant to be authentic discussion, so may organically go in different directions, just go with it…and if there are topics you chose not to cover please let me know beforehand.
Flow
Conversation will flow. This is meant to flow as if you were talking to a good friend. My home “studio” is very laid back and there will be a shared mic. Please speak close to the microphone so audio is clear. Don’t be afraid, this is not meant to make you uncomfortable. Quite the opposite. You were selected as someone with a something to say, who could teach your L³ moment. YOU INSPIRE, without even trying! Feel free to share any information you would like related to your profession, including website, Instagram follow, etc. Equally, feel free NOT to share contact details. This podcast will be shared with other women in different parts of the world.
