You seem very natural and comfortable talking about something that you obviously know a great deal about. :)<BR/><BR/>I totally agree about 'personal branding' as I've always strive to have that in my life and career.ZoeyBellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679642618670269667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32848601.post-76078837110354228132008-09-12T19:15:00.000-04:002008-09-12T19:15:00.000-04:00Hi Julie.

You are a perfectionist, and likely wouldn't have been happy with anything short of perfect. :-) <BR/><BR/>I think you did fine - considering that they switched the topic on you at the 11th hour. I mean, really! As a former client of yours, and one that used to speak to the media, if they did this to me, I would have called YOU to fix it or at the very least develop a few soundbites. But who do YOU get to call? No one! Yikes! Way better to be a client, girlfriend!<BR/><BR/>Patricia didn't mess around with the first question either...Difference between brand and reputation? Honestly, most marketers wouldn't be able to answer that question. <BR/><BR/>You nailed a number of really good soundbites though, including a good plug for Maverick.ShirleyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076353477322827615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32848601.post-90241490330651907912008-09-10T22:31:00.000-04:002008-09-10T22:31:00.000-04:00Hi Julie, I have to add my comments to the convers...Hi Julie, I have to add my comments to the conversation. I agree that your only errors were being hesitant in your answers and being stuck with a changed topic. What I saw was a very human, approachable woman who wasn't afraid to show a little vulnerability by using herself as an example. <BR/><BR/>My own experience after 20 years in the business is that we are so accustomed to being behind the scenes, we become hyper-critical of ourselves. Lay off and enjoy the ride. You were great!<BR/><BR/>And no, my sound wasn't off either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32848601.post-20117004294188890502008-09-09T10:08:00.000-04:002008-09-09T10:08:00.000-04:00You guys are very kind indeed.

Oh, and I forgot to mention the most hilarious part of the interview, the "super" underneath my interview on national TV read:<BR/><BR/>Julie Rusciolelli from<BR/>Maverick Pubic Relations! <BR/><BR/>They forgot the "l" in Public ... Can you imagine the laughs viewers must have had! I called the show right away and had them re-edit the super for the web site ... <BR/><BR/>Talk about grabbing your audience by the "short and curlies."Julie Rusciolellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00095523922700667223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32848601.post-42019005441242715442008-09-09T09:35:00.000-04:002008-09-09T09:35:00.000-04:00Julie, you sounded great to me and you looked fabu...Julie, you sounded great to me and you looked fabulous too.

As a speech writer and message alchemist for a few public figures I can say that I have seen worse – much worse. What gave you away was the hesitation in the inflection of your voice and a few too many pauses – your body language. As for the subjective matter, you sounded like a real pro with in-depth knowledge regardless if you were familiar with the topic or not. All that was missing was the portrayal of having confidence in the words that you were speaking. As you probably already know, live communication is 60% body language – not words. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I empathize. Next time, do a quick Google of the revised topic matter; tie it someway into what you are familiar with; and make sure you take control of the conversation by constantly steering it back to areas that you know and are confident in speaking about.<BR/><BR/>And, always remember what Keith Richards said, “If you make a mistake, do it again with a straight face.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
