Today’s guest on Learn to Win is Dr. Diane Hamilton, a sought-after expert in emotional intelligence and behavioral science with nearly four decades of real-world experience, Dr. Hamilton is the creator of the Curiosity Code Index™ and the author of four books sold worldwide.



Researcher, author and nationally syndicated radio show host Dr. Diane Hamilton has developed a new assessment to determine the things that impact curiosity, titled the Curiosity Code Index™ (CCI). Praised by CEOs as “the ultimate assessment to help individuals and organizations improve engagement, innovation and productivity.”



The CCI is the first assessment of its kind. After years of research and through interviewing top business thought leaders, Dr. Hamilton has designed this assessment to go along with her book Cracking the Curiosity Code. Hamilton’s research found the key to improving factors associated with productivity, beginning with improving curiosity.



We have all heard the saying, “curiosity killed the cat,” but maybe being curious is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, there are distinct areas of curiosity. Knowing what they are (and what blocks them) gives you more control of your ability to work with them and to harness the power of curiosity in yourself and in your team.



Dr. Diane Hamilton takes a deep dive into the curiosity inhibitors, what they mean and how they can be used to maximize your potential.
