Behind the scenes with TeeMcBee on Indelible Impressions!
I’m famous! Well – maybe not famous, but I did have the opportunity to be a guest on Indelible Impressions with TeeMcBee a few weeks ago. TeeMcBee (the business persona of Traci McBride) hosts a show geared towards empowering her viewers to increase their awareness around different areas of personal and professional growth.
I’ve often wondered what goes into creating a TV show – and I was lucky enough to have a backstage pass to this one! The crew was accommodating and professional – from explaining which camera to look at when to testing the voice quality on the microphone. I was amazed at how Traci went above and beyond in her role as the host. She had a number of questions prepared, had done extensive research on my background, but even more impressive, she was able to lead the conversation to showcase the best of what I do.
I’m so grateful for Traci McBride for allowing me the opportunity to share my passion of using effective time management strategies with her viewers.

What did I learn through this process?
- Having a professional studio with peeps sure beats trying to shoot videos on my own by holding my iPad in front of me!
- I have no idea how to get the videos from the Indelible Impressions YouTube channel to MY YouTube channel! (Is it even possible? Tech savvy people please help!)
- Stepping outside of my comfort zone may be scary at first – but once out – the rewards are worth it. I’ve been resisting creating videos for years – and actually being on a television show – FORGET IT!
- You can wear flats on TV – note they don’t show the floor . . . so I could have worn comfortable shoes!
- Surround yourself with nice people! Once I arrived at the studio, 99% of my nervousness disappeared. I trusted the crew and the host – and KNEW they would make sure I looked authentic and genuine on TV.
When is the last time you jumped outside your comfort zone? What were the results? I’d love to know . . .
Jumping out of my comfort zone definitely isn’t easy but having and extroverted husband definitely helps! ;-) He encourages me every day to put myself out there whether through public speaking on webinars and conference calls, writing my blog to share ideas and just by being a mom! It’s a challenge but that’s how we grow :-)
Emily –
My husband hasn’t met a stranger – so I completely agree with you! Having an extrovert encourage you certainly helps! Thanks for sharing – it’s nice knowing I’m not alone!

Very impressive! And congratulations on your first TV interview. I must admit my palms began to sweat at the mere thought of it. Will remember the tip about wearing flats should I ever be in that position.
I loved your point about how a real studio beats using your ipad to make your own video. Yep – that had me chuckling away.
Thanks for stopping by! After smashing one iPad and rerecording numerous times because my the video was shaky or at a bad angle – you can’t beat the professionals!
