Episode notes

In episode 37, we welcome Pia Lauritzen, philosopher, tech entrepreneur and writer on the power of questions and why it’s key to embracing curiosity and engaging in deeper, more meaningful conversations.

Pia and I discuss:

 

1. Why Pia believes only a few hold the power of questions in society and why it should be democratised 
2. What her research has revealed about finding the right questions
3. Why it’s important for leaders to create environments for their team to question

 

Annette Sloan and I sum-up the three biggest takeaways from my conversation with Pia, and we answer a listener's question asking when Annette and I are doing some live podcast on either Linkedin or Utube!!
