Conducting Interviews With Interesting Questions

Beginning this month, authors, coaches, therapists, and others who are interested in being interviewed will be given the opportunity to answer ten questions. It’s my hope that within two years I will have enough answers for an e-book. In the meantime, I will publish the responses to these questions on this blog, the Q-and-A Club, and Support4Change.

First, I have to add one more question to the nine I’ve selected, which is where you, readers of the blog and newsletter, enter the picture.

Here Are the First Nine Questions I Have Chosen

What experience taught you the most important lesson of your life?

What do you think is the greatest challenge the world faces today?

If you could return to one moment in your life and could do something differently, what would that be?

What one piece of technology that has been created in the last seventy-five years would you not want to do without?

If you could “un-invent” one piece of technology that was created in the last seventy-five years, what would it be?

If you could live in another decade and somewhere else than where you live, when and where would that be?

If you could have a conversation with one person, alive or historical, who would that be and why?

What would you like people to say about you after you are gone?

What three quotations of humor, inspiration, and wisdom are your favorites?

What Do You Think the Tenth Question Should Be?

You get to vote on your choice for the 10th question by choosing ONE of the following six questions. Just fill out the easy form that is right below these six questions and you will receive a PDF of the first two chapters of Ask Yourself Questions and Change Your Life.

1. What is the most beautiful place you have ever seen and what made it so special?

2. What is your happiest memory from childhood?

3. Who has been your greatest teacher, in or out of school? Why?

4. What is your definition of success?

5. When you were a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? Did you do it?

6. What is the biggest risk you have ever taken? Was it worth it?

Which question do you feel would most reveal something about a person being interviewed that you would like to know?

NOTE: The vote is completed and number 4, What is your definition of success, was selected by the greatest number of people. I do not save your e-mail address and will not automatically subscribe you to the newsletter.

Thanks to all who participated.

If you want to try your hand at answering these questions, go to Ten Questions Worth Considering and send me your answers. I am looking forward to reading what people have to say.
