Be Curious and Abundant and then find others like you

by | Nov 5, 2021 | Open Leadership

If you had to connect two people on the basis of ONE thing they had in common, and success would be they they REALLY got on… What would be the one thing? Food? Friend? Team? Faith? Pet hate? Band? Or something completely different?

Oli Barrett this week on Twitter

I love Oli, he is someone who lives for connecting people together and is always looking for new ideas. My answer to him was: Curiosity and being “myriad-minded, to which he responded:

“So your theory is that 2 people who are both highly curious will be MORE likely to get on than 2 people who share, say, the same dear friend? Or favourite book of all time? I like it. Got me thinking…”

My follow up response:

My thought is that a mindset around curiosity is likely to result in a great connection. I’d add abundance to that, the desire to share with others with nothing in mind other than stimulation and inspiration.”

I then finished by inviting him on as a guest on #WhatComesNextLive , where each week I have a thirty-minute conversation with a leader. Every week I am surprised how the conversation flows, every week I learn new things, every week the guests and I have fun.

I live for connecting to people and ideas, it is a pleasure to know Oli is out there in the world and I hope he comes on to my show as a guest soon 😉
