12. Curiosity How can I be more curious about it? 01 • The art of questioning ◦ Instead of asking yourself “How can I be better at this?” start by asking “How can I be more curious about this?” or “What’s happening behind the scenes?” ◦ Do your homework and ask open-ended questions to gather information ◦ Seek different perspectives to enhance understanding • Curiosity involves experimentation ◦ Try new activities and approaches ◦ Embrace failures as learning opportunities ◦ Embrace the unknown and ambiguity as a chance to learn and adapt • Reflect often on your work ◦ What have I learned? ◦ What will I do different next time?
