10. What is her secret of success?
So, the big question is: what is her secret of success? What did she do so differently that put her as one of the top personalities in media industry?
It is the same answer to this question: why do you watch Oprah show? The answer is simple. She was able to genuinely touch people’s heart. Her talk show was not just about Q&A, but it was about telling a story from its deepest layer.
Many of her guests left some of the most memorable moments on TV. They cried, they jumped on the couch (actually, only Tom Cruise did that), and they showed their true color. All of those happened because Oprah made them feel comfortable to do so.
Simply being a talk show host would not have brought her to who she is today. She loves what she does. It is her passion. And she took the challenge to create her own network. When skills meet innovation, that is when great things happen.
