Curiosity Is Sticky

Do You Ask Questions?

Questions lead to answers.

Watch a small child learning about the world. See a bundle of questions.
Watch a great listener, and you’ll see the same thing.

A great listener is curious about the person who is talking, curious about the information, curious about how the ideas fit together, and why they are of interest to the speaker.

Curiosity is easy.

  • It forms a bond between speaker and listener.
  • It gives a conversation focus..
  • It demonstrates value and respect for the speaker.
  • It shows self-confidence and trust. .
  • Genuine curiosity draws people into a conversation.

That’s why curiosity is sticky. Sticky is curious.
