How can we fully engage in conversations with people we disagree with—while remaining calm and producing win-win outcomes? The key is curiosity, something we all naturally have as kids but that tends to get buried beneath our adult responsibilities and multitasking lifestyles.

In The Power of Curiosity, executive coaches and leadership experts Kathy Taberner and Kirsten Taberner Siggins help us relearn those skills of curiosity we already have and apply them to ourselves and others, allowing us to address conflict at its true source, neutralize negative emotions, and transform challenging conversations into new possibilities and better relationships.

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

The secret is curiosity.  It is the innovation-driving, emotion-calming skill that comes so naturally to us as kids, but gets buried so easily beneath our busy, multitasking lifestyles.  The good news is that we just have to relearn what we already know!
