Coaching Corner: Fine tuning your curiosity
By Marilou Butcher Roth
Now here's the thing -- when you pull information from this box, you are not accessing new and creative information. To do that you must get curious, wondering perhaps how to best handle this situation, or what you might learn from this particular experience.
Many of my clients over the years seem to have a natural curiosity that over the years has been diminished. Perhaps they were criticized as a child for asking too many questions. Once they reconnect to this ability it becomes a great asset to them as an adult, a tool that they use both personally and professionally.
The type of curiosity we are looking for is a pure, authentic curiosity. You must be asking from a place of not knowing the answer. I like to use the example of a child's curiosity -- when they ask about something, it is because they truly do not know the answer. There is a purity about their questions and their openness to learning.
Hmmmm, I wonder how I can be of most service with my weekly blog post?
