The Boat That Rocked: Dealing w/ Anxiety, Low Self-Esteem and Perfectionism as a Radio, TV Presenter ft. Faris Al Raqqad


Listen Later

Feeling anxious about going up on stage? Think that audition is going to end up as a rejection? Think you'll trip and fall in front of everyone while giving that performance?


Today's incredible guest, Channel 4 Radio Host, TV Presenter DXB Today and Studio EXPO and Event Host of Comic Con, World Government Summit and Audi, Faris Al Raqqad has been there, done that. But TODAY he will be walking us through how he overcame these challenges and ignores those negative feelings. He'll answer the following:


1. Did you always know this path was for you, or were there moments of self-doubt?

2. You said that you suffered with severe anxiety and low self esteem when you were a kid, how did you deal with that? Did that ever impact you professionally, how?

3.  How did you shift your mindset from assuming the worst to assuming the best?

4.  Let's talk about challenges. How do you deal with situations that don't go as planned, even when you assume the best?

5.  Let's imagine a listener facing a big audition or presentation. What advice would you give them to silence the inner critic and embrace the power of positive assumption?

6. Were there any moments when assuming the best led to unexpected opportunities?

7. Have there ever been times when assuming the worst actually worked in your favor? Maybe a hilarious case of "over-preparedness"?
