This month I’ve pulled out some observations from Grazer’s "A CURIOUS MIND". A healthy CuRiOsItY will lead to discovery, awareness, and more importantly….ACTION. Grazer points out that: “For it to be effective, CuRiOsItY has to be harnessed to at least 2 other key traits: 1)ABILITY to pay attention to the answers and 2) A WILLINGNESS to ACT.” Think of a time when someone seems curious on how you’re doing or what you're up to, and then they totally disconnect from the conversation or never pay attention to your answer. Have you ever been there? In my coaching practice, the client has the coach’s full attention. The coach then creates the environment where the client is exploring new possibilities, answering even some of their own questions, and demonstrating a willingness to act upon the answers they’ve uncovered. It’s truly an amazing experience. CuRiOsItY is nothing if it’s not linked to action.
