Convincingly Strong

Professionalism is quality that only several celebrities process. Coming on time and prepared to the set, performing consistently in any role, respecting the decision of the production, refraining to post rants in social media, and honoring the details of the signed contract are among the traits professional talents  Another important factor, which is often neglected, is the respect for co-workers and not gossiping about them in public or private functions.

The few celebrities known to be professionals are often sought-after and a network who has most of such celebrities is guaranteed of smooth operations in a show. Thus, a network knows that hiring Professional Celebrity (PC) for a show can result in high credibility, which would attract more viewers. When the network and PC talked, the latter was candid enough to inform the heads about her heavy schedule for the season. Only if the network could accommodate her schedule would she take the offer. The network said PC was needed and her requests would be honored, as she is quite competent in her field and having her would make the show more professional.

As the talks progressed, the network told PC that she would be working with Impressionable Female (IF). Like PC, IF is well-respected for her accomplishments and she is very competent in her area. As soon as PC heard IF’s name, she reiterated that if the network cannot work around her schedule, she can forego the season and wait if ever she gets tapped again. The network sensed something was awkward and PC opened up.

PC admitted that IF has gotten on her nerves. PC cannot understand why IF has to be emotional every time she says something and sometimes, she would shed tears, which PC thinks is uncalled for and has become a habit. PC then shared some negative reactions in social media about IF. After sharing her thoughts, PC hinted that if the network hires IF, then she would focus on her commitments and not go mainstream. This statement made the network think and the decision was to stick it out with PC.

Informing IF that she would not be working with PC was tough to make, as IF has informed the heads of her desire to get the job. Cost-cutting was cited as the main reason for dropping her and even if IF was devastated, she kept cool and maintained her professionalism.

Once a door closes, a window opens, which was the case for IF. After breaking the news to IF, she was called for a meeting with a Top Executive (TE). TE assure IF that she would not be left empty-handed, as the network is preparing a big project for her. IF was appeased and she was informed that she can use the time to prepare for that big project. That’s not all, however. TE added that another project was in the works as well.

When the loyal audience realized IF was no longer part of the show, IF had to give a reason. True enough, her reasons were plausible and all seemed to end well.   

‘To this day, just always treat people the way you want to be treated. Whether it's family or friends or co-workers, I think it's the most important thing. Whether you have success or don't have it, whether you're a good person is all that matters.’ – Brenda Song
