Questions come naturally to young children: Why is the sky blue? Where do butterflies go in winter? As they grow older, students need invitations to cultivate curiosity and teachers who are able to teach the skill of questioning. The Question Formulation Technique builds this lifelong learning skill, teaching students how to ask their own questions. In this episode we're taking a journey into our podcast archives to a conversation with Dan Rothstein, Luz Santana, and Sarah Westbrook from The Right Question Institute to discuss how the QFT works and what we can do to cultivate curiosity through questioning.

Our third C from the 8 C's of Self-leadership is Curiosity. We're hardwired to be curious but our culture does not support asking lots of questions or wondering about how things work or especially how we work. Curiosity needs to be developed, practiced and cultivated like a gardener. This begins with paying attention. What are the other steps to cultivate curiosity as you learn to lead yourself and others well? Listen in.

                                                About Garry McLinn Garry McLinn is an emerging Sales Leader for the leader in Experience Based Learning, Education First.  His career is somewhat non-traditional, having spent 10 years as an opera singer, performing all across North America, specifically Montreal and Boston.  During that time, Garry developed a passion for team-based collaboration, steering him towards a pivot into sales where he grew his career towards leadership as quickly as possible. Garry joined EF in February of 2019, as an entry level sales consultant in their international travel for students division.  Over a turbulent 5 years, marked by COVID, Garry was able to find a voice for himself to help his professional community navigate the challenges of operating as a travel organization amid a global pandemic.  As the world started to emerge from COVID, Garry was ready for his next step into leadership, but was sidetracked by a new journey – overcoming a diagnosis of High-Grade B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.  Throughout treatment, Garry cultivated an attitude of unwavering positivity, leaned into his work to the extent his health would allow, and emerged from a 6-month treatment plan victorious in both professional and medical pursuits. Shortly after his tangle with Cancer, Garry was elevated into a leadership position where he would be the steward of the newest hires within a specific product under the EF Umbrella.  In that time, he managed 28 direct reports at once, graduated them on to sales teams one by one, onboarded a co-manager and built a shared leadership model that has since been replicated in other departments, and fundamentally changed the nature of the new hire's day-day responsibilities.  After a year of one success after another, Garry was asked to step into the directorship of a regional sales team, a role he occupies today. Throughout everything, Garry has been a champion of inclusivity, vulnerability, and candor. Episode notes Lesson 1: Listen first 04:17 Lesson 2: Lead with Vulnerability 06:26 Lesson 3: Give feedback generously, candidly, often, and with care at the core.  10:43 Lesson 4: Embrace Adversity as the Gauntlet of 14:08 Lesson 5: Keep inclusivity at the heart of everything you do 18:33 Lesson 6: Just be real, don't try to know everything 21:56 Lesson 7: Strive for authenticity in all of your relationships, in and outside of work 23:53 Lesson 8: Don't build a network, cultivate mentors and teammates. 26:57 Lesson 9: Cultivate Curiosity. 30:11 Lesson 10: Respecting all of the above, trust your gut and be willing to stand in your convictions.  32:09

When it comes to teams, curiosity is a powerful quality that inspires connection and conversation.  While some people might think it's a "trait" where some people are simply more curious than others, I think it's a skill you can build...and even cultivate within your team.   Here are strategies to cultivate curiosity in your team, organized for clarity and action.

One key distinction between wonder and imagination lies in their relationship to perception.  'Wonder' arises from our sensory experiences and our innate capacity to question the actions that we see before us.   In my analysis the word Wonder could stand alone as a question, i.e. [WONDER?].  Wonder is not the same as Marvel.  We can marvel at the universe.  We don't wonder at the universe.  Wonder is a word is associated with mankind's natural inclination to curiosity of what is happening around him/her.  We will see in the following podcast that 'Imagination' as more to do with 'coming from another' and creating much as God did in the beginning of time.Finding biblical verses relating to everyday occurrences.....

My Guest Susan Engel is a professor at Williams College, where she teaches courses on developmental psychology and education. Her research interests include children's curiosity, invention, and ideas. She is currently working on a book about Kindergarten in America.     Summary / Key Topics Lifelong learning and curiosity are essential for a thriving society. They allow us to adapt to change, solve problems, and create new opportunities. Yet, curiosity is often overlooked in education, leading to a decline in curiosity among children. There are many ways to foster curiosity in children. One is to create a learning environment that is safe and supportive, where children feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Another is to provide children with opportunities to explore their interests and learn at their own pace. Finally, it is important to model curiosity by showing children we are always learning and growing. Curiosity is valuable in education because it motivates students to learn and helps them to develop critical thinking skills. Curious students are more likely to ask questions, investigate problems, and develop creative solutions. They are also more likely to be engaged in learning and retain information. Education should nurture students' curiosity, helping them to become lifelong learners. This can be done by providing students with opportunities to learn about the world around them, develop their problem-solving skills, and connect with their own interests.

Cindy Esliger looks at exploring our curiosities and experimenting with what interests us to find our passion. Instead of pushing our inner voice down to quiet it, she encourages us to listen to it. To pursue our hunches and instincts to find the things that will resonate with us.We are often told to follow our passion but passion isn't something we start out with, passion is what comes through exploration and curiosity. So if we start by trying things that fascinate us, we are more likely to discover our passion. Cindy shares ways to cultivate curiosity and pushes us to answer questions about our interests. When we do find a passion we may want to do it simply for pleasure. It's not passion that will drive our career success anyway, it's exploration. Cindy lays out five ways that cultivating curiosity is better for a career than following passion: 1) It opens us up, 2) It allows us to discover our passion, 3) Passions can change over time, 4) Passion doesn't always equal proficiency, and 5) Curiosity transcends passion. She guides us through each of these so we better learn what drives us.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Exposing Your CuriositiesAstronomic Audio—Contact Cindy Esliger - Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email

Welcome back to our podcast, Unlocking Your World of Creativity. We are so pleased to welcome on our program today a designer, a creative director, a filmmaker, an animator, and a man that wears many more hats, Hussain Almossawi. Hussain Almossawi is an innovator, product designer and visual effects artist who has worked across industries and around the world consulting for companies such as Nike, Apple, Google, Adidas, Intel, and Ford Motor Company, among others. He is a regular keynote speaker on innovation and design and has taught at several universities. In 2019, Hussain founded Mossawi Studios, a multi-disciplinary design studio specializing in creating memorable, iconic, and bold experiences. He loves blurring the lines between product design, visual effects, and storytelling.In today's episode, we discuss: Hussain's new book The Innovator's Handbook, a short guide to Unleashing Your Creative Mindset and we get to hear a short excerpt from Chapter five, Cultivate Curiosity.Encouragement for young creatives moving up in their careerLastly, what's coming up next in Hussain's creative future “As a designer, as a creative, the way I look at it, you can either act or react. You can be a leader or a follower. That's the cool thing about it, there's no right or wrong.” The Innovator's Handbook, a short guide to Unleashing Your Creative Mindset In Hussain's book he helps designers and creatives harness their fire, flex their courage, and supercharge their ideas to create remarkable products, services, and experiences.What was Hussain's intent when he decided to create this book? He wanted to be a quick read, A short, fun read with lots of illustrations in it. Something that was not overwhelming to him. He explains that Innovation always felt overwhelming to him, even the books that he has that are super insightful. He tried to break it down. Create something to get a person's ideas going and start to make the reader think outside the box. **At 11:23 minutes we hear a short excerpt from Chapter five, Cultivate Curiosity that Hussain reads for us. Encouragement for Young People and InspirationHussain's advice to somebody who is young in this space or wants to get into it is:Always be humble and hungry. Always try to see how you can go to the next level. There's no right and wrong in innovation. Every idea can become something.Dream big, think big. Don't limit yourself. “Fear. It all goes back to fear. Fear is the number one thing that stops you from coming up with ideas, fear of speaking, fear of thinking out loud, fear of sharing ideas with other people and so on. So, be fearless. Be humble, and be hungry. And that will take you very far.”** Where you live shouldn't be an inspiration for what you create. It doesn't matter where you are, he says. There's always hidden stories that you can use as your insights when you're designing.What next?First, Hussain is trying to find ways to blend the digital space and the physical space. Mixing the two and taking him back to the idea of intersections and mixing two things together. He has found it's opened a lot of new doors to be more innovative and creative and

Today I have a special gift for you. My husband Rodd is here to talk about how we keep our relationship intimate and thriving.  We're very busy people and we don't have a ton of extra time for date nights and romantic getaways, but we do know how to prioritize one another and feed our relationship. We know how to let the erotic energy flow and enjoy our emotional connection.  We used to spend too much energy on mundane things, and end up compromising and holding back with each other when it mattered. This lead to a buildup of resentment and frustration that would inevitably explode and leave Rodd feeling he had to navigate emotional land mines. Using the 6 Keys to an Intimate Marriage has transformed our relationship to one of closeness and intimacy, mutual support, laughter and fun. The communication in our marriage, companionship, and passion are deeply satisfying and we credit our capacity to Cultivate Curiosity, Embrace Honesty, Be Kind, Choose Happiness, Take Responsibility, and Seek Growth.   Program mentioned: ALIGNED & HOT MARRIAGE http://www.alignedhotmarriage.com/ (www.alignedhotmarriage.com) If you're ready to create the deliciousness and joy of a growth-oriented, passionate relationship, visit http://www.alexandrastockwell.com (www.alexandrastockwell.com) Contact Alexandra https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/ (https://www.alexandrastockwell.com/contact/) Alexandra's book “Uncompromising Intimacy”https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl ( https://amzn.to/2ymI3Hl) IG https://www.instagram.com/alexandra.stockwell.intimacy/ (https://www.instagram.com/alexandra.stockwell.intimacy/) Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/alexandrastockwellcoach (https://www.facebook.com/alexandrastockwellcoach) Facebook profile https://www.facebook.com/alexandra.stockwell.7 (https://www.facebook.com/alexandra.stockwell.7) Join THE INTIMATE MARRIAGE Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hotmarriage (https://www.facebook.com/groups/hotmarriage)

The first key to an intimate marriage is to cultivate curiosity. Early in relationships, it's easy to feel curious about everything from scars, favorite foods, wild stories, and everything in between. As relationships mature, the curiosity fades and you get more comfortable. You already know how they'll order their coffee or how they'll answer a question before you even ask. That's a beautiful phase when you can put your energy towards other things. The problem comes when we become so comfortable and secure that we end up missing out on the growth that each other is going through.  If you're in the middle of a conflict, if it's intense, the most helpful thing you can do is just stop and ask a curious, open-ended question. If you're oriented on being right, it creates disconnection. When you can cultivate curiosity, it builds collaboration, creativity, and connection. If you are in a phase of disconnect in your relationship and/or having conflict, cultivate curiosity, ask open-ended questions and listen generously. If you're in a strong, solid, connected relationship, you can still cultivate curiosity and make your relationship even stronger.

The first key to an intimate marriage is: Cultivate Curiosity. Early in a relationship, it's easy to be curious about everything from scars, favorite foods, wild stories, spirituality and beyond. Then, as a relationship matures, the curiosity fades and you become more comfortable. You already know how they'll order their coffee or how they'll answer a question before you even ask. It's beautiful to be so familiar and to free your energy to focus on other things. The problem is that when we become so comfortable and secure in this way,  we end up missing out on the growth that we're each going through. The drop in curiosity leads to being disconnected from one another's internal experiences. Curiosity also helps when you're in the middle of a conflict. If it's intense, the most helpful thing you can do is to stop, take a breath, and ask a curious, open-ended question. Then listen to the answer with an open mind and an open heart. If you're focused on being right, and no longer open to your partner's point of view, it creates disconnection. On the other hand, when you cultivate curiosity, it builds collaboration, creativity, and connection. If you are currently in a phase of disconnection and distance in your relationship and/or having conflict, cultivate curiosity! Ask open-ended questions and then listen generously to the responses. If you're in a strong, solid, connected relationship, it's still essential to cultivate curiosity in order to make your relationship even stronger, and more joyful.

If you're just joining the podcast now, I recommend going back to the beginning of Season 2 to gain some context for what I'm about to cover in this episode. We have an epidemic of conflict-free, passion-free relationships going on right now. My prescription for an intimate marriage evolved out of my medical training, years of experience coaching other couples, my own anecdotal research, and what I have learned in my own marriage.  I have codified it all in the 6 Keys to an Intimate Marriage. They are: Cultivate Curiosity. Embrace Honesty. Be Kind. Choose Happiness. Take Responsibility. Seek Growth. I have seen these 6 keys work in many different kinds of relationships and many different kinds of situations. The results are wonderful! We'll go into more depth with each of the keys in upcoming episodes.  If you're ready to create the deliciousness and joy of a growth-oriented, passionate relationship, visit theintimatemarriagepodcast.com to get started.

This week, Kimberly Brown leads a practice to cultivate curiosity. We might not always think about curiosity as a part of mindfulness, but this powerful quality is what allows our everyday experiences, even the ones we really don't want to be having to get some breathing room and maybe even to shift in unexpected ways. Our curiosity practice can start with the simplest tools we have at hand: Our breath, our body, and our awareness.  Show Notes Find more from Kimberly Brown here: Kimberly Brown, Author at Mindful  Find Stephnie Domet's article on mindfulness and curiosity here: How Compassion and Curiosity Help Me to Be Present  And more from Mindful here: Discover the April 2022 Issue - Mindful Magazine  More episodes of 12 Minute Meditation And find more from Mindful at mindful.org and on our conversation podcast, Real Mindful.

If you've listened to our show for any length of time, you will know that we look at risk and uncertainty in unconventional ways. We rarely talk about risk methodology nor do we use lots of jargon. We talk to people from all walks of life because uncertainty is everywhere. We can't escape it, so we better understand it. We want to make risk and uncertainty accessible because they are fundamental to the human experience. This is embodied when we say “embrace uncertainty”. This conversation provides us with another lens to embrace uncertainty. That lens is curiosity. Meet Lauren Yee, the “Cultivator of Curiosity”. Lauren helps organisations and people solve problems, improve their ideas and reach their potential through curiosity – because curiosity, as you will hear, is a driver of great things. She has worked with the likes of the NBA's Golden State Warriors, LinkedIn, Google and others. She also founded the largest LEGO-based (i.e. the toys) STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) consultancy. We talk about that and more including quitting, innovation and failure, having difficult conversations, play and of course, how to cultivate curiosity.

Think of it as reinventing the wheel.Some quick tips on how to be more curious is to first: read more books.Second, ask more questions & figure out why things are the way that they are & if changing it would be beneficial.Lastly, spend some time with a child or try to think how a child does to experience a different perspective.

Hatha Yoga In this 30 minute hatha yoga class we will let go of controlling the perfect outcome and be curious about all the ways we can move our hip and shoulder joints. Options and modifications will be given from a chair if you have knee issues. This class will move your shoulders through a full range of motion. You will also practice moving your hips through flexion, extension and external rotation. We will use a block to add some additional exploration to our movement sequencing. When we demand perfection and excellence of ourselves all the time, we become controlling. In our bodies this feels like tension. In our minds this feels like pressure. In our emotions this feels like anger and frustration. In our energy this feels like stagnation. In our spirits this feels like lack of vision and creativity. In this hatha yoga class we will challenge ourselves to let go of controlling the perfect outcome, the well-worn path and falling back on what we know. When we open ourselves to trying new things, we can cultivate curiosity. Instead of being the expert we can be curious about what it would like to be spontaneous and be a beginner again. This will allow us to move from stagnation and bitterness to enthusiasm and inquisitiveness. Resource: Present Perfect Samov Pavel

[210] Dani Shapiro writes, “When I think of the wisest people I know, they share one defining trait: curiosity” (213, Still Writing). As she notes this connection between wisdom and curiosity, she continues, “They turn away from the minutiae of their lives—and focus on the world around them. They are motivated by a desire to explore the unfamiliar. They are drawn toward what they don't understand. They enjoy surprise” (213). I love how she connects surprise and curiosity. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi makes that same connection, as you'll see shortly. But before we get to that, let me establish my own connection: that curiosity is one of three pillars of your best writing life...along with creativity and productivity. Curious Writers Bring More to Their Work As curiosity becomes a daily practice, our writing will benefit, because curiosity serves as a driving force to producing captivating content and developing a writer who has things to say. Nourish curiosity and you'll have a lively imagination drawing from a vast and ever-expanding library of ideas. Each day, even the smallest flash of wonder fans the flame of creativity. If we agree with Dani Shapiro that curious people focus on the world around them with a desire to explore the unfamiliar—drawn toward what they don't understand—we gather clues for how we, too, can cultivate curiosity to live out our best writing life. If you've lost your sense of wonder and dampened curiosity, don't worry. You can recapture it, funneling into your work a newfound delight in the world around you, in yourself, and in others. If you happen to be by nature a curious lifelong learner, lucky you! Continue to explore new ways to cultivate it further to become even more curious and pour what you discover into your writing projects. Develop Curiosity Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in his book Creativity writes: “[T]he first step toward a more creative life is the cultivation of curiosity and interests, that is, the allocation of attention to things for their own sake…. Creative individuals are childlike in that their curiosity remains fresh even at ninety years of age; they delight in the strange and the unknown. And because there is no end to the unknown, their delight also is endless.” (346, Creativity) Did you hear his suggestions? Allocate “attention to things for their own sake.” “Delight in the strange and unknown.” It's similar to what Dani Shapiro was saying: even the old in age are young at heart as they “explore the unfamiliar” and let themselves be “drawn toward what they don't understand.” Curious people learn something new every day. Search, Capture, Ask My mom moved from the American Midwest to a coastal town in the South and became captivated by the flora and fauna of the area. She bought a telephoto lens so she could capture photos of the birds that seem so exotic to her. She grew up and lived most of her life with mourning doves, cardinals, robins, starlings, swallows, and red-winged blackbirds. Now she's delighting in what are, for her, “strange and unknown” species. She's “exploring the unfamiliar” as she snaps photos and looks up in a guidebook the names of birds that turn out to be wood storks, ibises, great blue herons, green herons, and anhingas. She shares them with her Facebook followers posting one photo after another along with thoughtful captions further modeling this curiosity that comes so naturally to her. My mom is by nature curious and developed it as a journalist, rooting out stories everywhere she goes. But you don't need to be a trained journalist to ask the questions popping into your head and to search for answers: borrow binoculars—or a telephoto lens—to study a bird ask a parent about her first crush wonder about the etymology of a word—and look it up dig into a time in history you know little about consider why a person made one choice instead of another ask that about yourself,

Children are curious. They explore just because, and they make decisions based on what feels good. But as adults, we no longer practice curiosity, opting instead to be guided by shoulds, deadlines, and a need for specific outcomes and certainty. This week I’m exploring curiosity as a mindset. Why be curious? Curiosity is one of my favorite practices for releasing a need for outcomes and creating space in our lives for new possibilities.

EP 007 - Mantra Monday: Cultivate Curiosity Welcome to SOUL SCHOOL WITH AUDREY and Mantra Monday where we start your week off with an intention, a quote or just a little thought in 5 minutes of less to inspire your day and week. Today’s Mantra Monday is all about is cultivating curiosity. If you’ve ever been around a small child, they are full of curiosity. They have unlimited questions, constantly wanting to why and how come and what is that? Babies are born curious. Children have an innate wonder and creative imagination. They truly experience life first hand. I think that’s why we love babies and kids, because they have such great joy from the simplest things in life. It’s amazing to watch a baby experience something new and giggle and laugh so hard or be awe-inspired by the color of a flower. It’s sad to learn that children lose this curiosity around 5-6 years old. Instead of asking questions, they replace the wonder with the need to be right. They don’t want to look stupid or be embarrassed by being wrong. This is a learned behavior in our society from parents, siblings, school, and friends. By the time we are adults we are no longer curious. We just want to have the right answers. We want to know it all. We want to be successful. Instead, we spend the rest of our lifetimes trying to be perfect. So, our Mantra Monday is all about allowing ourselves to be curious. Could you let go of being right or being perfect and just enjoy asking questions and wondering. We never let ourselves wonder anymore. We have google, siri and Wikipedia. The answers are at our finger tips, so we don’t need to be curious. But needing to be perfect squeezes the joy out of life, keeping us stuck in a small place. Being curious, however, rather than needing to be right takes a lot of pressure off us. We do not need to know the answers. We don’t need to be perfect. Instead of fast forwarding to the final outcome, we can enjoy the process. We can be free and be fully here immersed in the moment. Curiosity expands our perspective. Perfection limits it. How can you bring back more of that child-like wonder so that you can enjoy the magic in every day moments? How would you be freed? How would you enjoy life a little more fully by allowing yourself to not need to know the answer or be perfect? Today, how can you cultivate a little more curiosity? Thanks for tuning in. I would love to hear your comments on my website about how this has helped you and what you would like to hear next. And of course, thank you in advance for sharing, rating and reviewing this podcast on iTunes!
