Hi there,

Think of this as just an extension/adjustment of the PEI. Just like the leadership, entrepreneurial drive, etc. they'll looking for a well structured, in depth, PARADE/STAR/SCORE story. You will also be asked questions throughout where you will have to dive deeper.

Hello,

Some good general pointers already mentioned by the other coaches. I will add a couple more tips based on my own experience interviewing candidates

• Please make sure that your stories really answer the specific question being asked. In your situation, this means making sure the environment is really ‘unrivalled’ and the people were truly ‘exceptional’
  • Too often, candidates force-fit a similar enough story but it may not work and come off as ‘robotic’ and poor active listening
• The best stories are authentic stories
  • You may have to think hard and long, but the strongest stories are the ones with real challenges, real struggles, real problems and learnings
• Get feedback on your stories
  • Whether from friends or coaches, do ask for feedback as it will help to shape and sharpen your story

All the best!
