Dr Brennan Jacoby - Are you as curious as you'd like to be?
Access the podcast transcript here.
What is curiosity? Why does it matter in the workplace? And what stops us being curious?
To answer these questions, Ross G and Ross D are joined by Dr Brennan Jacoby, philosopher and founder of Philosophy at Work, an organisation that helps businesses think their best. Brennan holds a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D in philosophy, and his doctoral work analysed trust in the context of interpersonal relationships and corporate character.
We discuss:
- Why curiosity is important
- How to ask questions, even if it's difficult
- How to create an environment where curiosity is the norm.
