Did Curiosity Really Kill the Cat?!

Curiosity is the fuel behind every breakthrough—but most adults lose it as they grow older. Imagine what you’re missing when you stop asking questions. In this episode, Heather reveals why curiosity isn’t just for toddlers and how it supercharges learning, creativity, and connection—both at work and at home. Want to know the types of questions top performers ask to spark deeper conversations and solve bigger problems? What if your next question could be your million dollar move?

Episode Highlights:

00:20 - Curiosity is a powerful and essential human trait that drives learning, innovation, influence, and personal growth.

02:18 - People who are curious about others tend to ask more meaningful questions. They listen more attentively. They engage in richer conversations, and they have greater influence.

03:57 - Start by asking how and what questions. Number one, when you ask how and what, you're gonna get deeper answers, more thoughtful responses.

06:17 - Improving curiosity is like strengthening a muscle. The more you use it, the more you do it, the more natural it becomes.

Episode Highlights

02:15 - I couldn't rely on my strength alone, so I had to be smarter than everyone else. And I started to understand that people were broadcasting exactly what was on their mind, exactly how they were feeling, and exactly what was gonna happen next.

04:36 - You need to know the truth so that especially in these uncertain times, so that your your bets, your gambles on a certain vendor, a certain product, a certain strategy are the best informed that they can be. And when it comes to deception, you know, people get nervous. They're like, I don't you know, people are lying to you all the time.

23:28 - They always say, you know, you know, you need to take your emotions out of it. And that is one of the worst things you can do when you're with a client. Right? Because they're not gonna be able to do that and they need someone who's gonna be able to be there with them through the tough times.

In this mini episode, Heather reveals the five "taboo words" that silently sabotage influential communication. Drawing on coaching experiences, she explores how words like “just,” “I think,” “I’m sorry,” and “I’ll try” undermine confidence, credibility, and clarity—plus the impact of filler words on presence and authority.

Heather explains why influential leaders drop these phrases, shares concrete alternatives, and offers simple strategies for boosting your impact in every conversation.

Learn the importance of assertiveness, owning your message, and harnessing the power of a pause. Whether you’re coaching, selling, or leading, this episode is packed with quick tips to level up your communication and become a stronger, more trusted influencer.

Episode Highlights:

00:26 - Words hold power. Some move people to action, while others actually diminish your credibility, your message, and–you guessed it–your influence.

01:31 - Similar to the word "just," it says, "What I'm about to say might be wrong or you might not like it," but this is just my opinion. It's not a fact. Again, it's a minimizing or a diminishing type word.

04:13 - So the next time, rather than saying, "I'll try", say, "I absolutely will" or "I commit to doing this," and just see how that other person responds.
