I was on Meridian TV tonight! Well, actually, the news article was about our charity's fight for survival and a couple of the clients were interviewed. Then, when the camera panned around the room, there I was - one three quarter profile shot showing me working with a client and then a later shot from behind.
It was an odd feeling to see me as others see me. The first thing I thought when I saw the behind shot was "Oh good, my hair looks okay".
On the profile shot, I thought "Bloody double chin" and "God, I look bossy!"
When you come upon yourself unawares, it's not always easy to recognise yourself. If you're looking in the mirror, then of course, you know exactly what you're going to do or look like next - but seeing yourself without the benefit of being in control, is most interesting. Some 25 years ago, during a management course, a video was shot of me talking and I couldn't believe how much I gabbled, giggled, moved around, over-used facial expressions etc. I had a strong urge to grab myself, give me a shake and tell me to relax and settle down!
I think I would have found myself most annoying to be with for too long!
Have you ever seen yourself unawares? What was your opinion of this new perspective of yourself?
