What if the secret to deeper connection, better communication, and more meaningful relationships lies in one simple mindset shift — curiosity?
In this compelling episode of the L36 Podcast, hosts Steven Pearce and Nina Winstead sit down with acclaimed mother-daughter duo Kirsten Siggins and Kathy Taberner, founders of the Institute of Curiosity and co-authors of The Power of Curiosity. Together, they explore how curiosity isn’t just about asking questions — it’s a powerful tool to truly see, hear, and understand those around us.
You’ll discover:
Why 90% of communication is ineffective — and how curiosity helps us change that.
The difference between listening to understand vs. listening to fix, solve, or judge.
How curiosity strengthens our personal and professional relationships — and even releases feel-good hormones.
Through real-life examples and heartwarming stories, Kirsten and Kathy show how shifting our focus from ourselves to others can radically transform the way we connect. A must-listen for anyone looking to build more authentic, fulfilling relationships — at home, at work, and beyond.
