Day 12 : Become a Radio host

My challenge for the day was to request to host a monthly programme on Premier Radio, a Christian radio station that reaches over 500,000 listeners weekly.

I wasn't sure what my show would entail, other than offering something positive I guess.

This wasn't a random challenge. I had been invited on to talk about this unique project. So I integrated a challenge into this wonderful opportunity.

I waited for my time to pounce. Within the ad break, I asked the host if I could make the request. He stated it wasn't up to him but the Programme Director. So he went and got the Programme Director, David.

As we resumed, I made the request, catching him off guard. He gracefully responded with a 'not really'. I then felt very, very awkward. I had no idea about what else to say. The show will air in two weeks time.

Lesson Learnt; It is important to think about your response to either being accepted or rejected, or else you begin to sweat profusely. Once again the importance of preparation shines through.
