About This Episode
Leadership isn’t about knowing it all—it’s about staying curious. Yet only 30% of employees strongly agree they have opportunities to learn and grow at work, according to Gallup. In this kickoff episode, we explore why leaders can’t afford to stop learning, how modeling curiosity boosts engagement, and what it takes to make growth a visible, daily habit. From the 70-20-10 model of development to real-world stories of learning in progress, this episode is a call to lead by example—because when leaders learn, everyone rises.
