Curiosity - 8 Attributes of Good Decision Makers


Listen Later

In episode 1 of season 5, we discuss the attribute of curiosity and why it is important for good decision making. You'll also hear a short excerpt from our interview with Kirsten Siggins and Kathy Taberner - the full interview is available as a bonus episode.

WHAT TO DO?

You can enhance (or revive) your innate curiosity by:

  • asking questions (don't let your pride quench your curiosity)
  • getting outside and redeveloping a sense of wonder at the amazing world we live in
  • identifying gaps in your knowledge - acknowledging what we don't know can help us to be curious
  • understanding that curiosity will uncover some interesting options that you might never have otherwise considered
