HR Interviews Playlist

Albert Einstein once said, "I have no special talent; I am only passionately curious". I like this quote so much that I use the phrase "Passionately Curious" as the tagline for my consulting business. So you can imagine my delight then when I came across a book on workplace curiosity written by Stefaan van Hooydonk, the founder of The Global Curiosity Institute, who is my guest this week.

A former Chief Learning Officer, Stefaan has done some pioneering work on the science behind curiosity and why improving the skill of curiosity is essential in the modern world of work, both at an individual and organizational level. 

In the interview, we discuss:

• The story behind the Global Curiosity Institute

• Intentional curiosity

• Why and how you can train curiosity

• The importance of curiosity to organizations

• Measuring curiosity on an individual and organizational basis

• Creating a curious culture

• Awareness, Intentionality and Measurement

• The importance of learning something new
