It’s good to know what you know, and to realize what you don’t know. And to be curious about the latter. It’s hard to get someplace new without knowing something about it. And that starts by asking.
· Learning something new,
· Takes a process of discovery.
· It starts with seeking new things,
· And seeing that everything can be discovered.
· Start by being curious and asking good questions.
It seems that everyone is thinking about the Great Resignation these days, meaning people are curious about what might be better. Employers hope that their people stay, but with so many leaving it might be a good time to do what you can to keep them. Many of my clients are taking a more pro-active approach by being curious about what their employees might be interested in doing. They conduct “stay interviews”, discussions meant to pique their interest. If you sense they might not like their work, ask them what they like and don’t like about their current job, inquire what they would like to do if they could, and if they’d be willing to work with you to make that happen. Don’t be surprised how powerful a force simple curiosity can be. And don’t miss an opportunity to learn something new today.
