The Questions That I’ve Asked Cynthia

NOTE: these were not the only questions of the interview, but the questions that started the conversation.

Quote on how to be a great leader by Cynthia Luois www.mihaiherman.com

What’s your story and why have you decided to go on your own path and become an entrepreneur?
Every beginning is scary. What were some of the fears or mental blocks that you had when you first started out on your own?
How did you overcome those fears? Any book that played an important role, online course, event or did you work with a coach?
You’re all about redefining what it means to have a revolution. How do you define a revolution?
How can one start a revolution?
The women that you talk to are courageous ones that, as you said, speak truth to power in places that often forbid that. What does courage mean to you?
What makes you a courageous person?
What’s the difference between courage and foolishness? A lot of people think they are super courageous if they jump from a cliff, but is that the real meaning of courage? I know Brene Brown defines courage as being able to speak your heart’s truth. Do you agree?
I believe LOVE is everything, as do you. How can we use love, as leaders, to make a bigger impact in the world?
