What is Coach-like Curiosity?
-
The specific business skill we teach is called coach-like curiosity. It blends the power of curiosity with elements of coaching to help people connect and better understand each other - and the work they're doing. -
You don’t have to be a coach to be coach-like. Everyone can learn how to use coach-like behaviors into the workplace. It's a skill that can be used to resolve tensions, increase psychological safety, and to identify and overcome challenges faster. -
Coach-like curiosity centers people. It's about communication in service to one another. It's a Relational Curiosity skill that helps everyone contribute to improving performance because everyone can learn how to stay curious a little longer.
-
From the C-Suite to people managers to customer-centric roles, coach-like curiosity improves individuals in a way that strengthens the whole organization.

Put Curiosity to Work
Tackle the Intractable
People don't have to suffer in the workplace. There's a way to make work better.

76% of employees experience burnout on the job at least sometimes. Burnout doesn't just happen, it's the consequence of overwhelm and overwork. When people have the tools to reframe and rebalance their own work, overwhelm and burnout go down.
Overdependence
Resourcefulness
Skill sets for jobs have changed by 25% since 2015, that number is expected to double by 2027. Yet, only 35% of employees were encouraged to learn by their managers in the past 6 months. Employees in every role need the chance to learn how to solve problems for themselves and develop new skills.
Disengagement
Engagement
Disengagement is expensive.The estimated cost to the global economy is $8.8 trillion. It is also a major contributor to losing high performers. Research by SHRM suggests that replacing employees can be as high as 50%-60% with overall costs ranging anywhere from 90%-200%.
Micromanagement
Leadership Development
Micromanagement is one of the leading toxic workplace behaviors. Bosses who respect and nurture employees: could enhance productivity by 85%, engagement by 80%, independence/autonomy by 81%, productivity by 85%, retention/staying by 80%.
