🧐 A fundamental change in thinking that will help you make more impact than anything when working with change and it’s free!

One of the greatest, world renown Polish reporters of all time, Ryszard Kapuściński, wrote in “Travels with Herodotus”:

“We do not really know what draws a human being out into the world. Is it curiosity? A hunger for experience? An addiction to wonderment? The man who ceases to be astonished is hollow, possessed of an extinguished heart. If he believes that everything has already happened, that he has seen it all, then something most precious has died within him — the delight in life.”

This is one of the most profound quotes that I have known and re-read frequently through the years.

I see it also resonating a ton with the number one trait when working with transitions which is:

👉🏼 Curiosity

Few examples:

• what pushes people to do things the way they do?
• what are we not seeing that might give us more options?
• how do the unspoken rules in place create more of behaviours X, Y, Z?
• how can we deliver more of the right things while reducing team tension?
