I recently came across this interview of Oprah at the Stanford GSB. Although I have never watched a full episode of Oprah's talk show or read any issue of her magazine, I quickly understood why she is one of the most respected and powerful women in this country. I found a lot of wisdom in her sharing of her life stories and life philosophies. One of the key principals that she encourage GSBers to live by is to understand oneself and one's purpose in order to "step up into yourself". This very much aligns with the coaching and personal development approach I use which starts with developing a strong sense of self-awareness.
A lot has been written about Oprah and this interview so I am not going to write a long post on this one. I encourage you to watch the video (it is an hour long, but hey we can all use some inspirations from time to time). If you are short on time, you can read a summary and the quotes from the two GSB articles below. Enjoy!
