Every now and then news reporters try and manipulate the interviewees on camera with their investigative questioning and slick interviewing techniques. Well, this time, a Memphis day care center director, Terry Oliver, who was seemingly under fire by Memphis’ Fox 13 reporter Trey Paul, used her professionalism and quick wit to stand firm with the center’s decision to open the door to a drug dealer, who at the time was just a mere stranger and possible customer. We didn’t have to call Olivia Pope for this interview, Terry had it handled! Not only did she address the procedures and plans executed by the day care center, she also sent a direct challenge to city leaders in Memphis and the mayor to address how issues such as these and crime can be fixed.
If any of you ever need notes on how to remain professional and turn a negative question into a positive, take a look at Terry Oliver’s response. Absolutely phenomenal. You would almost believe someone gave her the questions ahead of the interview. It does not get any better than this. The Day care center and its owners should be very proud to have Terry as its director. Professionalism at its finest. #TERRYFORMAYOR

Honest, not lying, I titled my blog post BEFORE I saw the hashtag or your post: http://gregladen.com/blog/2015/01/terry-oliver-mayor/
ReplyDeleteThe other reason she should be mayor, other than her ability to handle FOX and all that, is her refusal to let every incident that ever happens move us closer to a police state.
