Learn the Curiosity Skills and you will finally have effective conversations no matter what life throws at you. Because when you are curious, you won't get furious.
Be Curious, Not Furious
Starting Oct 26th, in this 6-week, hands-on Have Hard Conversations With Ease Accelerator, we show you how making a few simple shifts in your conversations can help you stay calm and connected in any situation.
Using the Curiosity Skills, you will finally have a clear conversation framework you can feel confident in so you can
Hard conversations shouldn't be difficult or scary.
Without the Curiosity Skills, hard conversations are ineffective & challenging, here's why:
Problem #1. Effective conversation skills are not taught. Everyone believes they are great communicators - until they have to have {and avoid} a hard conversation. The reality is, effective conversation skills are skills that are not taught. It's up to you to figure it out on your own, which is really challenging.
Problem #2. You do what you know. That's why you hear your parent's voice come out of your mouth when your back is against the wall - even if you don't like it and know it's doesn't work. You resort to what you know until you actively learn to do it differently.
Problem #3. Being good at your job doesn't mean you are good at managing/ leading people. You're most likely trained in the area of expertise that you thrive in. Leading or managing people is no different. Specific skills are needed to do it successfully.
Problem #4. Conflict resolution skills are not taught, so most people avoid hard conversations. Leading/managing people requires handling different thoughts, perspectives, emotions, experiences, personalities, wants, ideas, needs, and ways of doing things - on top of your job - which is hard and overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be.
The Curiosity Skills take all the guesswork out of it.
No scripts to memorize. No theory to conceptualize. Real skills backed by neuroscience, for real people in real-time, that actually work.
Whether you are
Have Hard Conversations With Ease Accelerator is for you. Using the Curiosity Skills, you will finally have a clear conversation framework you can feel confident in no matter what life throws at you.

It all starts here.

WEEK 3 - LISTEN TO LEARN & UNDERSTAND
This is where the magic happens. Because most of us listen to reply, contribute, fix, solve, or tell -- which creates problems. It leads to confusion and conflict.
Successfully leading/working with people and attracting clients requires listening to learn and understand.
In week 3, we show you precisely how to do that.

Kirsten Siggins & Kathy Taberner | Founders, Institute Of Curiosity
From the moment you are born, you learn what it’s like to have conversations by watching and listening to your parents, caregivers, family members, teachers, and coaches.
As you learn and grow, you may actively choose to communicate differently, not repeating the same mistakes you experienced growing up.
But what happens when your emotional buttons get pushed, and your back is up against the wall?
You do what you know. You do what has been modeled to you even if you don’t like it or know it’s not effective.
It's important to understand that this is not your fault, these are skills you are expected to know and have never been taught.
We want to help you be your best when conversations get hard.
No more avoiding conversations or guessing how to have them.
Using our Curiosity Skills, you will finally have a clear conversation framework you can feel confident in no matter what life throws at you.
