Warm welcome to the Interview Mastery course!
Welcome fellow interviewers/ees! In this course you'll get my best guidance for how to be on the path of mastering your skills as a host and a guest. However, there's an abundance of wisdom here -- your own observations as you watch interviews and as you take part in this. I consider this course to be a community learning experience -- pooling together our observations about what makes for great interviewing (and what things to avoid.) So I hope you'll comment generously on the lessons to share what you've seen works / doesn't work. Let's learn together 🤗

Your favorite interviews: what are you learning about how they do it?
From now on, as you listen to / watch any interviews, especially from your favorite hosts or guests, ask yourself: What is the host doing well, that I can learn from? What is the guest doing that is effective? What are they not doing as effectively, that I can learn from? I welcome you to share your learnings below. Let's all become more effective hosts & guests, with our collective input!
Over the past weeks I listened to three interviews with Barbara Ditlow, human design consultations.
She is very precise, has a profound understanding of human design, she is walking her talk, enthousiastic, very nice voice, she listens to her host and is very supportive.
It was her to inspire her students to go live with podcasts, and it is great to see this inspiration in the eyes of the hosts.
Two different generations working together -
The host in this exemple: enthousiastic and clear, also vulnerable at times. bringing in her experiences.

Ways I dislike -- and ways I like -- for you to ask me questions 😅
Thank you for engaging with my courses! I truly am grateful to be able to support you, my students and clients, in growing your authentic business. It’s what I love doing the most. 🤗 At the same time, since I'm (mostly) a solopreneur, I also need to keep healthy boundaries with those I'm supporting... so I hope you will keep these in mind... Ways I dislike getting questions: Social media private messaging -- whether it's FB messaging, IG dm's, Twitter, LinkedIn etc... I really dislike getting questions through those channels because it's hard to organize messages in those places. Kindly refrain from asking me questions via social media direct messages. Email -- I don't mind getting questions via email if it's enrollment-related: something you need to clarify before signing up for my courses or programs. If it's questions related to the content of my courses, e.g. concepts, exercises, feedback requests etc, please use one of the following methods... Ways I love to receive your questions: Q&A calls -- this is my favorite way to engage with you and take your questions! There, you can ask me anything 🤗 Even if you’re not clear about your question, coming to the call will likely give you inspiration and ideas! You can then ask me about specific concepts, or how to apply them to your business. We can troubleshoot what's not working, or address specific challenges you're having. You can also seek my feedback about anything including your strategy, website, content, offers, or anything else. Click here: George Kao Q&A Calls. Comments under Lessons -- if you can't come to my Q&A calls or would love to get an answer sooner, find the course (George Kao Courses) related to the topic of your question. Go there, find the related lesson, and then comment underneath. This keeps the Q&A focused on a specific topic. I'll do my best to respond to your question within a few days. Members of ABC/MasterHeart -- I'd love for you to post your questions in our private forum, so that you can receive responses from other members. Your questions will also help me prepare for the next ABC Q&A calls. Even if you can't post your questions, you can still come to the Q&A calls and ask directly. Thank you for understanding! 🙏🏼 As business owners / service providers we each need to find a way to keep healthy boundaries in our work! I hope this page/video gives you some ideas for how to maintain a good relationship with your own audience as well. 😊
Thank you, it's great to hear that! A friend of mine asked me a little while ago: how would your life be if you had abundant money? First I wasn't really keen to answer, as the question did not apeal to me, but my answer came nevertheless straight from inside: I would have absolute clear boundaries... I turned it round: if I have clear boundaries...
Good morning!
Thank you for the welcoming!
One question arises, while listening - and I am looking forward to exploring answers :-)
How to react how to deal with an interview situation when I realise my host does not understand me.
I have had the situation in an interview documentary about my work, where it was very difficult to get into the flow of speaking. I have made it clear beforehand, what I needed, to get into the flow of speaking, but my partner did not get it. I believe that our brains work differently: she was very focused and planed, while I needed a more open question, to speak in an authentic spontaneous and non structured way... (finally there was still enough material which could be used, but it wasn't a nice experience)
Now curious to what comes up regarding this subject - which is maybe more about HOW questions are asked...
