Samenvatting:

Use the power of curiosity to transform challenging conversations into productive, meaningful, relationship-building experiences at work, home, or school.

As leaders, parents, or teachers, navigating difficult conversations is part of the job. How do we keep calm and achieve a productive outcome, all while keeping our relationships intact?

The secret is curiosity.

Curiosity is the innovation-driving, emotion-calming skill that comes so naturally to us as children, but gets so easily buried beneath our busy, multitasking lifestyles. The good news is that we simply have to relearn what we already know!
In The Power of Curiosity, mother-daughter executive coaching team Kathy Taberner and Kirsten Taberner-Siggins walk you through the Curiosity Skills and introduce a step-by-step process to use anytime—but especially when challenging conversations arise. In The Power of Curiosity you'll learn:

• How to be fully present in every conversation, even when distractions abound
• The five listening choices you always have available at home, work, or school
• Specific calming strategies to access when negative emotions run high

A step-by-step process to transform potential conflict into relationship-building opportunities.
