Seizing opportunity is essential to getting ahead in media and entertainment. It is not a passive, I-think-I'll-wait-until-it-comes-to-me kind of a business.
You not only have to seize the day - carpe your diem - you have to do something with the opportunity if you want to move forward in your life and career.
My guest for this episode, Hena Doba, generously walks me through how she did just that, going from a local news producer, behind the camera in Watertown, NY, to anchor and contributor on national programs from CBS News (where she became one of the first Pakistani anchors in America) to Cheddar (where we met) to NewsNation where Hena now hosts the weekend edition of Morning in America.
Key takeaways:
Be adaptable
Take smart risks
Listen to feedback
Invest in training
Learn how to write and tell a story
Know how to use video and communicate with your audience through a lens
Observe industry standards (as well as the competition)
Know the competition
Study your weaknesses
Work through insecurities
Play to your strengths
