Amanda Lamb – TV Presenter & Model – “Winging It?!”
After starting her career as an Estate Agent in Hampshire, this week’s guest burst onto our screens in the mid 90’s as the face of Scottish Widows. She very nearly, however, didn’t go to the audition as it was her birthday. Since this big break, Amanda Lamb continued her modelling career before launching into TV presenting in the early 2000’s.
The worlds of modelling and TV presenting can sound glamorous, and they can be, but dealing with knock backs based your persona, how you sound, or simply what you look like are commonplace. This episode has some key mindset themes for people that often have to deal with rejection, or when the phone simply stops ringing at all. Do you often quote or pitch for work and get knocked back? Do you find yourself overlooked at work for responsibilities that will further develop you? Amanda also gives some sound advice for networking and developing relationships in crowded and close-knit industries.
Amanda was born and raised in Leigh Park, just outside of Portsmouth, formerly the largest council estate in Europe. She talks to us about the resilience and mindset required to succeed in an industry where work can be plentiful or sporadic within the space of a few months, the pressures of social media and why she will always be known as the kindest person to have ever potentially committed breaking and entering!
Amanda puts lots of her success down to simply “winging it” but Ben and Si investigate this further and discover this may not necessarily be the case.
An important message about maintaining conversations and face time with people that really count is also contained within! Enjoy the show!
