Before you even think about preparing or pitching for a media, podcast or panel interview - you need to hear this. Cause chances are you're approaching interviews all wrong and a simple perspective shift could be a total game changer.

To unpack the change, in this episode of The Penny Drop, host Penny Terry shares her favourite story of all time to explain why we lose all our human abilities during interviews and what we can do to get them back.

You've made this decision - we all have. The DIY decision that ends up costing you more time and money than if you just got someone else to do it for you. Today on the Penny Drop, Penny talks to you while she's dealing with a frustration that almost ended up with her computer in the river.

Penny is recording this episode of The Penny Drop in her car when something on the side of the road takes her back to a painful (read: funny) lesson she learned on a  holiday in L.A., while also reminding her to plan for 2024.

In this episode of the Penny Drop, Penny is inspired by some listener feedback! She gets you to think about the benefits of a private conversation vs public messaging and how podcasts and interviews straddle the two; this is their superpower!

In this episode of the Penny Drop, a basket of lemons sends Penny into a spin. She somehow relates that back to a communications and engagement lesson that you might not see coming.

In this episode of The Penny Drop, you'll hear Penny have an epiphany as she learns a new, and very compelling, skill. It's something that's transferable from the river bank to the office and beyond!

So we're lucky this episode of The Penny Drop even exists because Penny was dealing with a serious lack of ideas. You been there? Writer's block, the pressure of deadlines, and ZERO ideas to share? Luckily Penny implemented one of her four surefire story-finding techniques and 'bingo' - ideas galore! In this episode, Penny goes for a walk while walking you through them.

(Penny's also started recording videos of her podcasts - if you'd like to see them, the best way is to follow her on LinkedIn or sign up to her fortnightly newsletter. All the deets are below.

Penny recently got caught up, while going through airport security and wonders if most of us are making similar mistakes. In this episode of the Penny Drop, she takes you through the whole experience providing a few pointers that will help you with your scanning processes... yep, the metaphors in this one are plentiful.
