How To Let Curiosity Be Your Driving Force

Welcome to my book about how to let curiosity be your driving force throughout the chapters of your WorkLife Story. Here is a preview of what's inside, along with the main ideas and the meaning behind these.

WorkLife is our life at work, where we spend one third of our lives. It is also the impact our work has on our life outside of work, and the impact our life outside of work has on our work. All areas of our life in and out of work are so intrinsically linked, they cannot be separated, nor do I believe should they. I believe WorkLife needs to be considered holistically.

Curiosity is something that we're born with. As children we're amazed by and question everything. We're sponges for information and learn at an incredible rate. As we navigate through our WorkLife, curiosity is often the first point of our learning process, stimulating the flow of ideas. Exploratory questioning that builds our attention around what's piqued our interest is a wonderful tool for unlocking hidden potential in ourselves and the world around us.

In this book I tell four stories:

1. Let Curiosity Be Your Driving Force: Amelia's story of how her love of learning and innate curiosity were both her core principles and guiding stars at every WorkLife crossroads.

2. Using Curiosity as Her Driving Force to Inspiration :Issie's story of how she used her love of asking questions to discover her next WorkLife chapter.

3. Using Curiosity as Their Self-Motivating Force: Rob and Billy's story of how they used curiosity as motivation to push beyond their fears.

4. An Endless Source of Inspiration from Curious Conversations: Travis's story of how when he had become blocked in his songwriting, he drew inspiration from meeting new people and listening to their stories.

I share the exercises that helped to work through these challenging situations to resolve the dilemmas. I present these exercises as the following assignments for you to work through:
