If You Could Meet Anyone, Dead or Alive, Who Would You Choose?

Mentor yourself today by learning about the five people that you’d most like to meet. What can you learn from them?

One of the questions that I ask in the invisible mentor interview is “If trusted friends could introduce you to five people (living or dead) that you’ve always wanted to meet, who would you choose? And what would you say to them?”

A lot of the times after interviewees have named the five people who they would want to meet, they comment that they wouldn’t ask any questions, instead, they would simply listen. The ability to listen is one of the skills that great leaders possess. Here are 20 people that interviewees have indicated that they’d like to meet. The people listed below attained incredible success, and have made a difference in the world. They are memorable, but what is it about them that pull others to them? What traits do they all have in common?

Are there five people on this list that you’d like to meet? What would you say to them? If your list is very different, which five people would you choose? Why would you want to meet them? What do you hope to learn from them? Is there another way that you can get what you need? How would you go about it?

These are a lot of questions, but I am trying to get your creative juices flowing. Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
