THE POWER OF A QUESTION

Creating thought-provoking interview questions is truly an art form. This morning we came across a series of questions from a 2007 interview in skirt! magazine. This is a ‘chick’ magazine that every guy should read. “… It’s all about women…their work, play, families, creativity, style, health and wealth, bodies and souls. skirt! is an attitude…spirited, independent, outspoken, serious, playful and irreverent, sometimes controversial, always passionate.”

On the surface, the interview questions look rather simple. But, if you take a few moments and THINK about them, you realize they are anything BUT. They just may stimulate some long lost memories and open a part of your heart that has been under lock and key for too long.

These questions stirred up our Studio this morning. We laughed. We comforted each other. We gave each other some authentic feedback. We razzed each other unmercifully! Ultimately, we got to know each other better; no small feat when you realize that we have been working together for almost three decades!

Give it a try. Find someone. Interview each other.

Prepare to be amazed.
