A short YouTube monologue by Kim Zoller from her "Wednesday's Wirings" series encouraging listeners to respond to unwelcome information with curiosity instead of shutting down. Zoller frames curiosity as an open, observational stance ("like you were sitting outside and listening to the birds") that helps open doors, create opportunities, and enable learning for oneself and others.
Are you a curious person? Are you curious about the sounds around you? Are you curious about what's happening around you? Are you curious about what's happening with other people? Hi, I'm Kim Zoller, and welcome to Wednesday's Wirings. If you're a curious person, what happens when someone gives you some information that you don't really want to hear? Do you get curious or do you shut down? I see so many people shutting down, and in fact, how hard is it to actually stay open when we don't want to hear something, especially when it's about ourselves? So get curious. Curious like you were sitting outside and listening to the birds. Curious about what's happening around you. Get curious when you hear information because that curiosity will lead to open doors, opportunities, and things that you may actually learn that help you and others.
