This week's video was inspired by two things. First, by a research study I read on how gettingpeople curious can help them replace unhealthy behaviours with healthy ones, and second, by my long experience of personally using curiosity as a therapeutic tool.

We don't really see therapy or coaching workshops on the art of curiosity-building in clients. But I hope after reading this week's blog you'll agree that perhaps these ideas should be taught more.

When we help our clients become overwhelmingly curious about changes they need to make, they are already making them.

Here's to curiosity, the great human progress tool!
