NOTE

Navigating Conversations with Curiosity and Intention

Approach conversations without an agenda, but with intention. Differentiate between intention, which sets the space for conversation, and agenda, which aims for a specific outcome. Engage with curiosity to understand others' perspectives and motivations. View situations from a curious angle to foster open and constructive dialogue. Recognize that most people do not act with malicious intent and seek to understand their thought process. Priming conversations with curiosity can lead to more open and authentic responses. The interviewer's approach influences the interviewee's behavior, emphasizing the importance of setting a curious and open tone in interactions.
