Interviews #2 The Middle Questions: Your Cue To Tell Your Story

The Middle — Brainstorm Experiences and Adapt to Fit the Questions — Three “PAR” Anecdotes

“Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.” Hannah Arendt

Your interviews are as memorable as the stories you share. Many people have fascinating experiences but forget them when they’re on the spot.

1. Problem — What was the situation?
2. Action — What did you do to solve it?
3. Result — What changed afterwards?
