Last Monday, I did something I was really proud of.
I went out of my comfort zone, to do some filming, for work. It was part of our campaign, to improve things for blind and partially sighted people. Mine was about e-scooters, and the danger they pose to us by not having any sound. I had to say a few things, and then talk while an e-scooter was riding past.
I was really anxious about it. I’d never done anything like it before. I wasn’t sure what it would be like. I was worried about stumbling over my lines, or forgetting things. But it wasn’t as bad as I thought.
I got to the office early, to get in the zone. Our comms manager, Penny is super friendly. She is easy to talk to, and I trust her. She explained everything to me, and we had a lovely cameraman. I spent several minutes getting my brain into gear, convincing myself I was a Norse warrior who could do anything.
And it wasn’t as bad. I stood on a local corner, and said my piece. We had several goes at it, which helped. Once I got into it, I was okay. Penny stood behind the cameraman, so I pretended I was talking to her. I took my time, didn’t rush my words, and managed with anxiety as best I could, using my fidget bracelets to fiddle with and emphasise my point. I only forgot my words once and stuttered twice. But everyone was lovely about it. They prompted me, and let me take my time, and encouraged me. I was a little nervous about the e-scooter, but it was a few feet away and was only for a few seconds. We recorded everything, and then me and Penny went to a cafe for a coffee themed reward.
It took a lot of courage to do that. It was a new experience, and environment, and I did struggle. I did it, though, which is something to be proud of. I’m not sure I could have done it if it hadn’t been Penny. I’m not sure I would do it again. But that’s okay. Not every experience has to be repeated.
