Better Q’s = Better Answers
Basic facts are must haves, but better questions demand thought, from interviewor and interviewee alike and ‘often’ lead to better understanding. Try:
Don’t ask her how much she wants to make, ask her how she wants to grow
Don’t ask him where he wants to work, ask him what he wants to experience
Don’t ask them about a typical day, clarify which skills they want to focus on using
Don’t ask me what I’m looking for. Ask me what a dream scenario might be.
#Betterquestions + #BasicFacts = #Cleardirection
The Strategist I’m Told to Identify
The ‘ideal’ strategist I’m typically asked to identify:
A true empath – so is equipped to understand/connect with colleagues, consumers and clients alike
A sense maker/connector of disparate ideas – culturally savvy
Openness – To all people and ways of thinking – is genuinely open-minded and so able to understand and incorporate the spectrum of perspectives.

Where to Focus..
‘If you are depressed you are living in the past; If you’re anxious you’re living in the future; If you are at peace, you are living in the present.’ (Lao Tzu)
Or, there are times to reflect and to plan and the ‘present’ might not feel the best, but really, the present is the only time to live. #Live #Love #Inspire
Open Mind=Quantum Leap?
‘What we see depends mainly on what we look for.’ (Sir John Lubbock)
Or, this is a perfect time to clarify what you want and don’t want and to refocus. But, if you want to be informed and/or surprised, always have an open mind so that iterative progression may instead be a quantum leap.
Be Passionate Or Don’t Interview
Job interview manual tip, page 1, section 1, point 1 – ‘Show the love!’ If the would be employer does not feel your enthusiasm, even if you are brilliant, you’re probably not getting the job. Be passionate and if you can’t, pursue something else.
