Episode 228 - Curiosity as a Practice - Rethinking Respect in the Workplace with Dr. Julie Pham
Dr. Julie Pham, author of 7 Forms of Respect, transformed communication by treating curiosity as a daily practice. Drawing from her bicultural upbringing and global research, she helps leaders move beyond the "golden rule". Her journey teaches that respect is relative, and building deeper relationships starts with self-awareness and intentional listening.
Key Takeaways
-
Treat curiosity as a deliberate practice involving self-awareness, relationship building, and clear communication.
-
Realize that respect is relative and subjective rather than a fixed or universal definition.
-
Shift away from the golden rule to treat others how they actually want treatment.
-
Identify your personal "rubber band" breaking points to manage expectations and avoid emotional snapping.
-
Slow down and use the power of the pause when entering a heated conversation.
