Suggested Questions for Interviews

1. Can you tell us a bit about your keynote "What My Death taught me About Leadership"?
2. In your co-authored book ‘The Change 6’, you talk about the importance of transparently offering up your ‘personal story’ and the value it can create; can you give us an example of someone that has created a life of influence using this strategy, and why it works?
3. You often recommend that in order to insulate ourselves from corruption you suggest we be careful in selecting what we consume; can you elaborate on that?
4. Can you give us an overview on C.H.A.N.G.E. and how that came about?
5. You have an amazing story of overcoming physical and financial hardship and enduring a life of unknown futures, can you elaborate?
6. In your co-authored book ‘The Change 6’ you say, and I quote: “We must awaken ourselves form the monotony of daily existence. We are tooled for greatness from greatness, but somewhere along the way, we surrendered that right, succumbed to the road most traveled, and often find ourselves the absent student, the mundane worker, the indifferent spouse or the misguided youth.” if that be the case, how do we escape?
7. In your book ‘Leaving An Impression’ a book about recognizing our public education teacher and their plight against downward spiraling statistics, you talk about the decline in genius as we age into adulthood, and that because of it there is a tremendous amount of unharvested potential; can you elaborate?
