Lesson Description
This audio lesson explores why curiosity is essential for thriving in an age of artificial intelligence, rapid change and information overload. Behavioural skills expert Liggy Webb discusses the difference between passive exploration and active discovery, introducing the Japanese concept of shoshin (beginner’s mindset) as a powerful tool for approaching each situation with a fresh perspective. The conversation covers how curiosity supports better decision-making by helping us get to the source of problems rather than accepting information at face value. You’ll gain practical techniques for asking confident questions, challenging assumptions, and using intentional curiosity to drive innovation and personal growth.
