Curiosity is one of the biggest traits of great personalities. If you want to become a magnetic personality who attracts client to you rather than chasing them, you need to discover how to be more curious.
PEOPLE LOVE CURIOSITY
One of my best on-air talent had a powerful sense of curiosity. He loved to learn about people and things. He also had a unique view of every situation.
His name is Mike, but everyone calls him Big Party. When you think of a guy named Big party, you probably envision a very large, rotund man. This wasn't the case. Party is an average looking guy. He just makes everyone feel special when they are around him.
His curiosity leads him to ask great question of everyone he meets. When he conducts an interview, he doesn't have a list of questions. He just asks about the things that pique his curiosity.
One day after I left the radio station, the bosses thought it would be better if Big Party talked less and played more music during his show. The ratings dipped.
But more importantly, Party hated what he was doing. During his vacation, he decided he was going to quit when he returned.
The day came for Party to go back to work, and he changed his mind. But rather than following orders and playing more music, he decided he was going to do his show his way. If they didn't like it, they could fire him.
He began leading with his curiosity again. The content became stronger. Listeners started to return.
Soon the ratings were back up. And management quit tinkering.
Because Party is interested, he becomes interesting. People want to know what he thinks about things and events, because he has an interesting take.
Curiosity is powerful.
