Practicing Courage #40: Let go of assumptions and embrace curiosity

3h ago 4:23

MP3•Episode home

When I was first learning to be a coach we had a saying before stepping into a coaching conversation:
Leave your assumptions at the door and embrace curiosity.
In reality we often know SO little about someone’s experience, and about their story.
And when we recognize that, what seems to make the most sense is to get curious.
To ask questions,
And to listen deeply.
In a recent episode with Dr. Jonah Paquette we took a dive into the depths of awe and wonder he offered a beautiful reminder of the power of curiosity.
And that reminder is the inspiration for today’s practice which centers around finding ways to let go of your assumptions
And to choose learning over knowing.
This practice is being re-released as a powerful complement to our new mini-series which highlights Courageous Life guests new and old.

Each episode in the series featuring leaders who are at the forefront of researching, facilitating, and sharing their hard-earned wisdom related to how to have constructive dialogues, how to find win-win solutions to some of our hardest problems, and ultimately how to build bridges across difference.
