In Episode 55, The Occupational Philosophers again chat with another ‘delight’ of guests, Cathy Taberner and Kirsten Siggins
Mmmm, sounds interesting. Tell me more….
Cathy and Kirsten are the Mother/Daughter Founders of the Institute Of Curiosity and with a name like that, we just had to have them on the show!!
And a little more information about them both:
- Kathy Taberner: Coach, Author, Speaker, MA, CEC, PCC. Kathy enjoys hiking, skiing, kayaking, and sharing delicious food and wine with family and friends.
- Kirsten Siggins: Coach, Author, TEDx Speaker, BA, CEC. Kirsten is a curiosity nerd, wannabe chef, and adventurer who loves a full table and all things design.
Both are the co-authors of “The Power of Curiosity” – How To Have Real Conversations That Create Collaboration, Innovation and Understanding’
(Yes, they are as nice as they sound!)
In this episode, they explore:
- Why curiosity should be at the heart of all conversations
- When a professional’s back is up against the wall, they hear their parent’s voice come out of their mouth.
- Why we need to get curious and not furious
- Three essential curiosity skills to use in conversations
- Why Gremlins can be our biggest obstacle to becoming more curious
- How setting the intention to be curious can change everything
- Why we need to be more curious and less furious
- Why checking bathing costume fabric is so important
As always, there are some great thought experiments including Mother and Daughter Bingo with “Who said that?”
