    MINDSET 
    What would you do if you had all the money and time in the world? Those kind of questions can drive interesting answers. I have seen a lot of people focus on external rewards (extrinsic) and do not know or identify intrinsic motivators (autonomy, mastery, sense of belonging) the right...

    This a big one as well, learning to take proactive decisions. I see many people taking reactive actions and blaming others for their outcomes. How do you normally make decisions? Thats a huge topic which I find very interesting.
