Mastery & Interview (In or Out of Class)
If you weren’t at our training meeting this week, please call someone to talk about how your week went. Click here for directory. Ideally call someone you recognize from the class. If you’re married, call someone of the same sex. Even people who aren’t actively involved in Mastery are often willing to go to this page and conduct this interview (below). Please do your best. The results of this weekly interview are huge!
Instructions
Take turns interviewing each other, 10 minutes each way.
The key to success in this interview is to stay with the questions.
At anytime you can guide the person interviewing you i.e. “Can you stick on #5 a few more times please” or “Ask me what I’m not seeing” or, “Actually, let me just vent for a minute on this whole issue, then we’ll start up again” etc. (Note that asking person interviewing you to stay on #5, in particular, can be super helpful').
Please use the entire 10 minutes for each interview vs. “Well, O.K. looks like we’re done. So how’s the family?”
