In this Transform Your Workplace episode, Brandon Laws sits down with Sean Grace, author of The Art of the Question, to explore the transformative power of curiosity and the skill of asking meaningful questions. Grace emphasizes that curiosity isn't just for kids — it's a tool for leaders to foster connection, growth, and innovative thinking. He shares how letting go of the need to "know" and asking the right questions opens leaders up to new perspectives and unlocks team creativity. If you're a leader looking to deepen your influence and inspire genuine engagement, tune in to learn how to master the art of the question.
