Most of us recognize why curiosity is important.
Few of us know how to practice and unleash its full potential.
But when professionals embrace curiosity, it becomes a catalyst for transformation, helping them to challenge their assumptions, connect with people, and build cultures where everyone feels like they matter.
We’re all born with curiosity, and you can see it at work through different development stages.
Curiosity is important for learning and growth.
Curiosity is a muscle and requires practice like any other muscle that you don’t want to atrophy.
Curiosity is something that we need to consistently exercise in small ways.
