I’m really enjoying Kitchen Sink to Catwalk, the programme that takes six middle-aged women and transforms them into catwalk models. As I mentioned last week, I worked with these girls for one day which you can see in episode 4 – hence my interest.
Anyway, back to last Tuesday’s episode – in the first task they had to do a casting for the pet food manufacturer , Sheba , which involved a close working relationship with cats! In my seminars I teach delegates techniques to help activate their inner confidence. Learning how to feel comfortable in any situation automatically increases one’s external charisma. Would this work with cats!! Karen Seeberg was brilliant! Slipping off her shoes and curling her legs up onto the sofa, the cat bonded with her immediately. Even with the uncompromising camera lens looming over her, Karen was able to dazzle.
The next task involved working with a rather phallic piece of gym equipment for a Virgin Active campaign. Feeling comfortable is the key and Angie, who spends a lot of time in the gym was able to project her personality to produce some stunning shots.
You can hear more about these girls experiences on BBC Radio Sussex & Surrey interview that I did with both Sam and Angie (contestants from the show) last Monday.
