Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The people who admire and want to meet you are there. As long as you can start a great conversation, you can build a great relationship with them, and learn from them.
2. A double-barreled question has two questions in one. If you ask two things at the same time, people will pick the easy one and only answer that and forget the hard one that you probably want to get answered.
3. If you ask things outright, it feels like it's coming out of nowhere and it feels like you're putting your interviewee against the wall and pushing them to say something they're not comfortable saying. You need to give them an exit so they feel comfortable deciding how to respond.
