Expert Interviewer

Avil Beckford is founder of Ambeck Enterprise, The Invisible Mentor and Readers are Leaders. I am an expert interviewer, writer, researcher and the published author of Tales of People Who Get It and its companion workbook, Journey to Getting It. I founded The Invisible Mentor, a non-traditional mentoring program where professionals learn from, and are mentored by the experiences of others, in the form of expert interviews with highly successful people, wisdom of life profiles of very wise people who lived before us, and SummaReviews which are hybrid book summaries and book reviews.

I like Chris Brogan who has helped me a lot indirectly. I subscribe to his blog and I learn a tremendous amount from him, and I often become aware of what I don’t know that I didn’t know that I didn’t know (wrap your head around that). I like his helpful and caring style.

What I want for The Invisible Mentor Blog is to build a community of people who share with each other. I am very passionate about reading and learning, and books have been great mentors to me. There are many lessons inside great books that we can apply to our lives. Sadly, most people do not read as much as they should.

My intent is to provide book summaries of books that impact, as well as interviews of successful people who we can learn things from. Use the information from the book summaries and interviews and find ways to integrate them into your life. Spend some time going through old posts to see what you have missed.

And, I would greatly appreciate it if you helped me to spread the word about The Invisible Mentor Blog. Please comment and also let me know what are some of the things that you’d like to see.

Back to Chris Brogan, I watched a 10 minute presentation by him “Why Serendipity is Underrated” and in it he asks us five questions to ponder, which are timely for thanksgiving:

  1. How do we share?
  2. How do we extend experiences and relationships?
  3. How do we collaborate?
  4. How do we wire new networks people wise?
  5. How do we develop relationships that yield?

and I would like to add another question that I think is important

  1. How do we give thanks, or let people know that we appreciate all that they do?

I will think about these questions and I hope you will too. Here is Chris’ presentation.
