    Jul 10 2023

    Unleash the power of curiosity and watch relationships, innovation, and performance thrive. Join host Emma Clayton as she delves into the art and science of curiosity in this captivating episode of Knowing Me Knowing You. Discover why curiosity is essential in both personal and professional lives, and how it has driven significant breakthroughs throughout history. From Sir Isaac Newton's quest to understand gravity to Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of penicillin, curiosity has shaped our world.

    But in recent times, our curious nature has waned. Emma explores the factors contributing to this decline, including standardised testing and easy access to information through technology. However, she emphasizes the crucial role of cultivating curiosity from a young age and fostering a lifelong love for learning and problem-solving.

    In the workplace, curiosity becomes the engine that drives growth and success. A curious workforce is more engaged, open to new ideas, and encourages collaboration. Emma highlights the importance of diverse perspectives, psychological safety, and continuous learning in cultivating a culture of curiosity.

    Effective leaders are naturally curious, constantly seeking new information and ideas to improve decision-making and adapt to evolving environments. Curiosity-driven leaders foster a culture of innovation by encouraging questions, challenging assumptions, and actively listening to their team members. Curiosity also fuels collaboration within teams, leading to agile problem-solving and a competitive edge in the market.

    Curious to know how organizations can encourage curiosity? Emma shares practical strategies and tips, including role modelling curiosity as leaders, recognizing and rewarding curiosity in employees, creating platforms for questioning and idea sharing, and providing time for learning and skill development.

    Drawing inspiration from successful organizations like Google and 3M, Emma showcases how curiosity-driven approaches have resulted in groundbreaking products and services. By giving teams the time and opportunity to explore new ideas, these companies have consistently delivered innovation and stayed ahead of the competition.

    Don't miss out on this thought-provoking episode that will leave you inspired to embrace curiosity in your daily life. Take action by asking open-ended questions, adopting a growth mindset, and unleashing the power of curiosity to drive personal and professional growth.

    Tune in to Knowing Me Knowing You and let curiosity be your guide to success and fulfilment.
