Event description

You got problems? We’ve got solutions.

Looking at a big, scary challenge? We can get you through it.

Does the future seem a little fuzzy, or downright inscrutable? We have the biggest future-illuminating flashlight you can imagine.

And who are we? Well, it’s you, me and everyone else who comes to the Curiosity Club.

Talk to a neuroscientist or someone really smart like Albert Einstein, and you’ll discover that curiosity is the key ingredient to understanding the world and creating new pathways to the future.

(Plus, it releases the same neurotransmitters as falling in love. So, you could think of this workshop as chance to combine a great business trip with a little romantic getaway.)

Bring along the issue, problem, challenge, opportunity or question that’s been occupying your mind—that’s what you’ll be getting curious about and exploring with a small group of fellow bizniks. With all of those curious minds focused on you, amazing things will happen.

Most of the session will happen in small groups. We’ll have some short guided conversations that will get you going and frame your dialog so that you get the most out of it.

You and your group will spend your time getting curious about two things:

  • The ways in which your thought processes and approached may be limiting what’s possible. And, other ways of thinking and acting that could produce profoundly better results.
  • Your problem, issue, challenge, question or future.

The session is structured so that you will have your group’s attention focused completely on you and your world long enough for:

  • Your problem to begin to dissolve, and maybe even disappear completely;
  • That big challenge to become much more manageable and achievable;
  • The future to become clearer, and for inspiring and enlivening new pathways to emerge.

And through the whole session, you’ll be learning, growing and developing just by getting curious. It’s how your brain learns best, and boy does it feel good!

You already know how to figure things out, analyze, predict . . . you have a large toolkit that you’ve learned over the years and they serve you well. Now, expand your natural curiosity as a strategic tool in building a life and business that are meaningful, fulfilling, successful and fun.

For two decades, Barak Rosenbloom has helped people and organizations nationwide expand their natural curiosity and apply it to their world. As a coach, consultant, trainer, facilitator, ski bum and general all-purpose creative madman, when Barak brings his own intense natural curiosity and playfulness, the world becomes much brighter and more interesting, businesses thrive, and people find themselves profoundly happy and fulfilled.

Drue Larson is a counselor, trainer, and expert in leadership and management develop.

Mosaic Coffee is in Wallingford on the ground floor of the Seattle First Church. We will be meeting in their large meeting room, to the left as you enter. Mosaic serves drinks, soup and sandwiches with no fixed price. You get to say what it’s worth to you. Proceeds go to running the coffee house and to non-profits. Please support this wonderful space. I will also be accepting donations that I’ll give to Mosaic at the end of the session.

Your participation makes a difference for everyone in this event. Please come a few minutes early and, if you can't make please cancel your reservation as soon as you know.

    This looks amazing. I was training by Tamra Flemming a process called Life Architecture (coaching process) in which being 'curious' is a huge factor. I cannot come this time but if you do the event again, I hope I can make it.

    Love it!

    Maulita,

    Thank you for the kind words, and I'm sorry you won't be able to make it. We'll be scheduling these on the third Monday of each month for the next six months, and hope to see you at one soon.
