Stephanie Grace writes: “I never thought of curiosity as a professional skill. I can’t recall ever mentioning it in job interviews or performance reviews. I should have. It’s one of the most valuable things I bring to work. It helps us notice patterns, understand systems, and work better with the people around us, going beyond our day-to-day competence. Curiosity isn’t just a personality trait but a skill we can develop and practice. Just like we learn Boolean searching and how to conduct a reference interview, we can learn to be more curious.”
