I loved that quote too. Although I can imagine someone using it about another person who can never accept responsibility for their own actions: "He's always the good guy in his own movie!" Is that just my cynical mind? 🤔
So how was it? Also, how do get to interview people? I have a lot of questions for a lot of people but I am not sure as to how I can approach someone to sit down with me to answer them all
Great advice not just for interviewing but for life. I use the line that "only boring people are bored" with my kids (which they don't much care for!). When I speak to Middle / High School kids about being an engineer I always include the advice to be curious. It is hands down the best thing you can have to a fulfilled life. Great Ted Talk Mike!!!
Love this! Some really great tips here! I myself am a journalist for two local papers and am wanting to expand and have my own podcast and become a better interviewer. Some notes that I made: Curiosity is a muscle, strengthen it and be curious about EVERYTHING! -Find fascination in everyone you talk to. Set the table and show the uniqueness that every individual has. I loved the quote you left with: “Every man I meet is my superior in some way and in that, I learn from him.”
1:50 Just be quiet 2:03 Prepare. Show your guest how much you know about them. And if they have a book look at other podcasts that interviewed him 4:10 Find verbal interviews of them 5:20 Look at the smallest podcasts. That interviewed the guy 6:08 Ask small question that bring you to other big topics 6:56 Focus and be present. 8:35 Set the table for your guest. Be interesting, and have curiosity. 10:40 Good guy in there own movie.
Before interview: 1. Do some prep. 2. Find interviewee's answers in other interviews for followup questions. 3. Find verbal interviews for social cues and intangibles that interviewee will bring. During interview: 4. Break the ice. 5. Listen. 6. Use dead air chicken. 7. Set the table for your guest to be comfortable. Make curiosity your hobby.
How many people have heard an interviewer who needed these tips? 😃 Loved this talk - so insightful and definitely something I will pull from in the future. Thanks, Mike! ❤️
Awesome talk, very well said. I'm a Headhunter and I always tell my team that curiosity and enthusiasm is key to an interesting and engaging interview.
I’m doing an interview for my college assignment in a few hours, it’s the first time I interview someone so I’m kinda nervous, I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable and the interview is about a culture I’m not 100% expert about so I’m scared of saying or doing something offensive. I’ll come back later saying how everything turned out!
I've never thought about using silence as a tool in interviews before. The idea of 'dead air chicken' is both amusing and genius. Can't wait to see how it works in practice.
Great vid, nice share. The Emerson quote is a great platform to use with anyone - being interested is being generous, too. That strong statement comes to mind "Are you listening or just waiting to talk?"
I don't know if i can like this video any more! I am currently struggling with this topic more and more that now since I've been interviewing on the regular. The message is trully insightful. Thank you TEDx! Creator name: raunchy_tacos.
1A. just listen, be quiet 1B.I learned to sit back relax and listen. 2A.I think making curiosity m a hobby is great advice iy will allow me to learn and connect with a multitude of individuals.2B. I see myself prepping on various culture's and different activities to connect ct with clients.3A no questions about the interview process at this time.2B.I am looking forward to learning new things and how others think.3A. My concerns are that I may be to direct.
Step 1: Prep: Research your interviewee: online, print interviews Review curriculum vitae (academia) Step 2: LISTEN Don’t think of your next question or joke Listen intensely Look for connections: your background research and new information presented during your talk
I have my first interview on camera tomorrow. I have done my prep questions, I have watched many of my guest's vids on RUclips, to get a real feel for her. The nerves are kicking in but I pray all goes well🙏
Hi Tedx,I think it's an odd question. but for me it's important to know, can you help me out please. if I go for a Skype interview and my Webcam positioning at the bottom of the screen(like dell xps 9560). Then does it could spoil the interview impression?
Thanks man, I just spent the last hour on similar topics, they had good content but they didn't have your style. Like seriously, as an interviewer or a starting-out interviewer I don't want to dehumanize the conversation with the traditional tactics.
1a.shut up. 1b.learned too shut up.2a,i think making curiosity a hobby makes sense so that I can connect with multiple individuals.2B.means I can better understand and help people.3a.looking forward gaining others insights.3b I do not have any concerns at this time,
Okay I'm here to do some prep work because I am planning to meet with a celebrity I look up to and I have no idea how to talk to this person who is way "out of my league". I need to know how to make a conversation flow and not make it awkward be the one rambling. I need to learn to "shut up"
@@gee2541 was missing Amber Liu with her tour X starting I California. She was super chill, the sweetest personality and easy to talk to. Not awkward at all, just like meeting up with a best friend you haven't seen in awhile. Made a video of it to
@@perdykool Oh wow I hadn’t heard of her before but that must have been exciting :) Glad she was friendly and it went well! I’d love to do interviews like that in the future one day and get experience talking to public figures.
@@gee2541 I've met a few celebs before and it's always been fun, they're people to, with feelings and anxieties like anyone... just better looking and with more money. Lol. Jk but seriously had great times.

Making the other person tell you how they are the "good guy in their own movie" -- that blew my mind.
I loved that quote too. Although I can imagine someone using it about another person who can never accept responsibility for their own actions: "He's always the good guy in his own movie!" Is that just my cynical mind? 🤔
100 💯
Aren’t ted talks great!
Agreed! I loved that part too! Also this one - "Bored people are boring. Interested people are interesting."
Agreed! Great quote!
Step 1: Do Prep Work.
Me, who is just trying to get some tips for an interview in 15 minutes: "Oops."
Bonus tip: Find out tips on how to interview a good week in advance! 😃😉

I can relate but it is in 5 mins :|
So how was it?
Also, how do get to interview people?
I have a lot of questions for a lot of people but I am not sure as to how I can approach someone to sit down with me to answer them all
@@anishathete easiest answer is to just ask

Binx
we coulda just watched the video.
Caleb Bunch - You nailed it Bro.
Cheers mate 👍🏻
This is a great sum up but it leaves out so much, so I still recommend watching the video for the follow up info from these topics.
As a student in journalism, this helped a little bit but wish me luck on my interview today 🤞
My take away. Set the table for others and don't step on their answers. I think this is great advise.
"Curiosity is a muscle" - Mike Dronkers
I loved that quote too! I'm always gonna be flexing it now. 💪
Ain't that beautiful ✨
How original..I too can tupe..u 🤪
I think 10:24 is the most important unspoken rule… you have to genuinely care and be genuinely open to hearing and learning from your interviewee.
Awesome advice!!! I've noticed through my limited interviews for my social media videos how hard it is to shut up! thanks for the great advice.
Loved him when he was on KHUM, wish he'd come back.
It's predictably brilliant...
Mike is one of the best interviewers I ever had the privilege of listening to.
Cheers!
How many people have heard an interviewer who needed these tips? 😃 Loved this talk - so insightful and definitely something I will pull from in the future. Thanks, Mike! ❤️
I will be conducting interviews and I need some tips
Very helpful tips.Thanks
"how did you even know that" i immediately thought of hot ones
Narduwar is the undisputed goat for this
Awesome talk, very well said. I'm a Headhunter and I always tell my team that curiosity and enthusiasm is key to an interesting and engaging interview.
Ask a question you fear being asked in an interview
I like how it is short and to the point!
Excellent advice. Especially the part about shutting up and letting your guest speak.
Best tip ever!
Any journalism students here? 😄
Here 😅
Here lol
Awesome, ready to see some interviews on RUclips and to shut up. Thanks!
What he said: dead air chicken
What he actually meant: minecraft chicken slowly falling
Or trying to catch a chicken so you can fly in Fortnite
I’m doing an interview for my college assignment in a few hours, it’s the first time I interview someone so I’m kinda nervous, I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable and the interview is about a culture I’m not 100% expert about so I’m scared of saying or doing something offensive.
I’ll come back later saying how everything turned out!
He was never seen again.
rip
Yeah I’m doing the same thing! I’m so scared
I’m still hoping for u to come back tho ....... what happened we wanna know lol
How did it go ?
I'm really happy for you I'ma let you finish but nardwuar the human serviette is the best interviewer of all time
Damn right!!!
A true human gem.
Facts
this guy was great, and straight to the point and flowed seamlessly
Thnx sir..being a student it was of great use for me
He’s so right about being curious about everything!!$

Great tips - gonna go out practicing them today when im gonna record my rejection therapy challenge and ask random people about the meaning of life!
Alexander Nilsson its a duration of living born to death. Its a big gift god has given to living creatures.
I love this!!!
Awesome content. Well delivered!
Thank you. This has been an eye opener
You are genuinely interested in your interview when you are learning from the person you are interviewing
This was fantastic! God Bless!
Jimmy fallon missed that first tip of "just SHUT UP"
Every person is worth listening to ... well said Mike
Interviewing makes you a better person
Chandler 😁
"Just shut up" Love that!
Larry king one of the few interviwers who listens to his guests silently also Marc Maron in his podcast. You can how comfortable the guest is.
Thanks for the great talk, it was very inspiring. I watched the TedX with Nardwuar yesterday and it was equally inspiring. I recommend it!
I don't know if i can like this video any more! I am currently struggling with this topic more and more that now since I've been interviewing on the regular. The message is trully insightful. Thank you TEDx!

Listen intensely

I always thought that 8:50
As an interviewer you wanna hear from your guest "how did you even know that?"
Very nice
Sean Evans is a master of this.
Yes he is! He asks the best questions!
Very very useful. Thank you.
Amazing advice, even for my school paper that no one reads.
Great tips Mike. Cheers.
And I always thought I fall in love with humans after interviews

Fashion.
Lex Fridman watched this video.
Wow what a great vid
Definitely use icebreakers
very helpful
I was going to add a thank you comment but I think I rather shut up
Make curiosity your hobby.
Okay I'm here to do some prep work because I am planning to meet with a celebrity I look up to and I have no idea how to talk to this person who is way "out of my league". I need to know how to make a conversation flow and not make it awkward be the one rambling. I need to learn to "shut up"
Who was it and how did it go?
