What was the biggest challenge you faced in your career, and how did you overcome it?
What is the most important “Never do this…” rule in your discipline?
Who inspired or mentored you, and what did you learn from them?
What is the biggest discovery you wish you had known on day one?
What do outsiders consistently misunderstand about your discipline?
What decision looked small at the time but changed everything?
What skill outside your discipline has contributed most to your success?
What belief did you hold when you started that you no longer believe today?
