777: What You Win When You Lead With Curiosity
If you have an anxious, jumpy brain like me, you might have a constant, urgent need to talk, share, contribute, make your point known, be seen, be a fixer, and get the right answer out before anyone else in the room\u2026\nDo ya feel me?!\xa0\nHowever, what is gained by sharing (shoving?) our thoughts and ideas with others at breakneck speed can just as quickly be lost when we skip the opportunity to step back, get curious, really listen, and dig into engaging and enriching conversations.\xa0\xa0\nSo, how do we do this - especially if it\u2019s not how your brain was innately designed?!\xa0In this episode, we will talk about how you can become a more curious person and better relationship builder by:\n\nIdentifying as a great question asker\xa0\n\nListening actively without formulating your response\xa0\n\nExpanding conversations instead of managing or dominating them\n\nSuspending judgment and the need to immediately respond to or counter everyone who thinks differently than you\n\nShowing genuine interest in others and their thoughts & ideas\xa0\n\nEmbracing silence\xa0\n\nAs you integrate these curiosity practices, you will find yourself enjoying (winning!)\n\nDeeper, richer relationships\n\nMore safe and trusting relationships\n\nEmpathy toward those who might have different lived experiences than you\n\nThe ability to see, understand, and embrace diverse viewpoints\n\nA departure from always needing to be right to always being open-minded\xa0\n\nWe love the sponsors that make this show possible!
