I love this question. What I think is so wonderful about this whole list, really, is that it creates space for people to open up and begin to be vulnerable in ways where they don’t even feel that vulnerable. It’s a beautiful way to start to see inside people without it turning into something really scary. Understanding people’s early influences is also one of the most effective ways to better understand people’s behaviors. These people who influenced them — what did they say or do? How did they behave? How did the inspire a behavior or set of beliefs in this person. Really powerful — these are awesome questions!!
