Before the Interview

Understand the Purpose:

Our audience is diverse, ranging from young adults in their 20s, professionals in their 30s and 40s, to seasoned experts in their 50s and 60s. Despite their varied backgrounds, they all share a common passion for personal growth. Consider how your perspective can inspire them. Reflect on the message you want to convey and the legacy you wish to leave behind. Why does your message matter in the grander scheme of society, personal growth, and well-being? How can it make a significant impact? Think deeply about why your insights are important and how they can contribute to the greater good.

Know Your Topic:

The interview will always focus on two main areas: your personal life story and your professional knowledge or expertise. We may emphasize one over the other depending on your key topic. To prepare, think about the stories you want to share and the wisdom you wish to impart. Remember, our audience relies on you for accurate information. Please ensure everything you say is fact-checked, especially statistics, historical anecdotes, and scientific data. If you reference a discipline outside your primary expertise, use widely accepted and peer-reviewed sources, and consult with experts directly whenever possible.

Prepare Your Story:

Personal anecdotes and stories make interviews engaging. Consider sharing experiences that highlight your expertise. Start by writing down your idea in one or two sentences. Then, ask yourself a few questions to refine it:

Is my story relatable to the audience?

Am I sharing something new and unheard?

Is it interesting and captivating?

Who will find it appealing or relevant?

Is it factual and realistic, especially if it involves research or expertise?

Things to Think About

Start by engaging your audience with a relatable example or an intriguing idea.
Convey your story and message clearly and with conviction.
Present your evidence effectively, explaining how and why your idea can be implemented.
Conclude by addressing the potential impact of your idea on your audience if they embrace it.

Practice:

Rehearse your responses to potential questions. Practice speaking clearly and concisely.
