We are happy to announce a three-part series focusing on Curiosity at Work!
We are partnering with Michael Ashford, Rethinking Communication, and Acey Holmes, BoredLess, to provide you with a program that introduces what it means to be curious at work, then builds from the initial session with two three-hour in-person workshops focusing on how curiosity can support and improve, 1) conflict resolution and effective communication, and 2) foster creativity, innovation and promote psychological safety.
Although these sessions will inform each other as they progress, you can attend any one of them without having to attend the others and still walk away with bountiful information that you can immediately apply to your workplace.

- May 13, 2025 (1:00 - 4:00PM; In-Person @ CTU)) - PART 1: Communicating to Build Trust, Psychological Safety, and Positive Change. Session description: When conflict inevitably surfaces at work, a lack of effective communication becomes an energy and time black hole, where effort is spent managing fear, skepticism, animosity, and stagnation rather than actually solving issues. An inability to clearly communicate through conflict leads to unresolved problems, a doom loop of misunderstandings, eroded trust, unmet goals, and ultimately, employee turnover. PART 2: Unlocking Innovation: Building a Playful and Curious Workplace Culture. April 17, 2025 (9:00AM - 12:00PM). Session description: Spark curiosity about how play can become a transformative force in fostering creativity, innovation, and psychological safety at work. Explore synergy between curiostiy and play; dive into the 'why' and 'how' to amplify curiosity and enhance resilience and innovation. CSSHRM Members $30; Nonmembers $75
