I think curiosity is one of the most powerful tools we have when it comes to problem solving, creativity, and innovation. If you’re trying to build a successful, innovative business that’s making a difference and serving people powerfully, getting better at being curious will take you a long way in that direction.
Especially when it’s an alternative to judgment, a tool that comes with very limited upside and a whole lot of downside.
Inspired by one of my favorite (misattributed) quotes, this episode will help you understand why we veer into the realm of judgment so quickly and easily, how to stop doing so, and how to get better at the skill of being curious.
