“Be curious, not judgmental”This Walt Whitman quote deeply resonates with me. While I am not always the loudest person in the room, I do pride myself as someone who always takes the time to ask the right questions, and more importantly, appreciate the answers.I constantly ask myself questions like “When I look back on my day, will I be proud of the actions I took and the interactions I had?”Some think they have it all figured out. That kind of confidence can serve certain people well, but in others, it can lead to judgement. I’ve worked with some truly amazing people over the course of my career. Leaders who inspired me, peers who taught me, and team members who gave me a reason to jump out of bed each morning with two feet at the same time. If I ask myself what common trait those people had; they were curious. Their curiosity leads them on a never-ending quest for knowledge, they meet each conversation with a genuine sense of empathy and compassion, and they see every single day as an opportunity to display fierce determination and tenacity at their trade. So for today, and every day after that, I plan to remember what drives me at my core and will never forget to “be curious, not judgemental”.
