This is my advice for anyone doing anything scary.

What's your action plan going to be?

How are you going to cope with your nerves?

That's how you approach big moments.

Think about it, face it, how are you going to be prepared?

It's just about centering yourself, calming yourself, focusing yourself, and having confidence.

Telling yourself you've got it.

I'm Carly Zaken, I'm Danielle Weisberg, welcome to Skim from the couch.

This podcast is where we go deep on career advice from women who have lived it, from the

good stuff like hiring and growing a team, to the rough stuff like negotiating your salary

and giving or getting hard feedback.

We started the Skim from a couch, so what better place to talk it all out than where it

began on a couch?

Welcome to our Women's History Month series on Skim from the couch, where we're telling

you about the women who made history this past year.

This week, our guest is Kristen Walker.

She's a veteran journalist who's been with NBC News for more than a decade.

Last fall, she moderated the final presidential debate of 2020.

And earlier this year, she became chief White House correspondent for NBC News.

Kristen, thank you so much for joining us, welcome to Skim from the couch.

I'm so excited to be here.

I'm so honored to be here, and I'm so in awe of what the two of you have accomplished
