interviewing and expressing

yesterday, in a lecture on interviewing and being interviewed, our professor asked us what our own thoughts were on both. among other things, we discussed how sensitive the interviewee becomes to the intentions of the interviewer - feeling acutely aware of their body language, their feedback to responses, etc. the professor's conclusion was that when we interview, we should give constant positive feedback to the interviewee so that they feel the positive energy and are motivated to provide energetic answers.

another one of those places where expression and positive-ness show up as uber important. life has found me a numerous set of instances in recent days that have reinforced the essential-ness of positive words, and the power they have in maintaining a sense of harmony with the world around us. i will post on that more later. tnh has some great things to share on this subject as well.
