What to Listen For

How did Guy Raz get his start as a podcast host?

What can you do to inspire people to open up more in conversation?

What can you do if you are struggling with depression and you’re not sure where to turn?

Why are more and more people contending with depression and anxiety today and what can we do about it?

What is the secret to happiness and why is it simpler than many of us think?

How can you change the way you view risk so it doesn’t stand in your way to happiness and success?

What mindsets allow you to face down adversity when you would normally give up and walk away?

How can we help build resilience in children?

What tips can you use to build a network that will help you find fulfillment and success?

What can you do to recapture the curiosity so many of us let go of as we become adults?

A nurtured sense of curiosity is one of the most important traits you can have when it comes to engaging people in interesting conversations. A conversation is a two way street - if someone expresses a thought or feeling, curiosity about her, or her thought or feeling, is what allows you to follow up with genuine interest in what she has to say by relating to your own experience and/or asking her follow up questions that let her know what she has to say is important.
