"You shouldn’t be asking what they know, you should be asking how they think."
When you’re meeting someone successful and accomplished and in a significant position of some sort, it’s okay that you don’t know much/anything about what they do as a health care policy person / a housing renter / an executive director of a non profit. You don’t need to ask them questions about health care and housing. You shouldn’t be asking what they know, you should be asking how they think.
Meaning you want a way to get insight on how their brain works, how they made certain decisions, why they believe this should be so and not this. You want to get something you can take from them to apply to your own life. Even if it’s something as simple as “How did you get to where you are now?”
I like this associate program because it teaches me how to think. I haven’t learned how to do that since high school.
