Welcome back to A Voice and Beyond.

I'm your host, Marissa Lee, and first of all, I would like to thank you for joining me on today's program,

because we are exploring one of the most underrated, misunderstood and yet most incredibly

powerful forces we have as humans, and that is curiosity.

My guest is Dr. Deborah Clary, a leadership strategist, researcher, executive coach,

and one of the leading global voices championing curiosity as a core competency for life,

leadership and well-being. For over four decades, Dr. Clary has held senior roles

with some of the world's most iconic companies, including Coca-Cola, Jack Daniels, and Humana.

And she has coached hundreds of executives and teams toward greater

innovation, connection and purpose. During our conversation today, we discussed Dr. Clary's

up-and-coming book, The Curiosity Curve, which shines a light on why curiosity

isn't a soft skill. It's a strategic advantage that rewires the brain and fuels creativity,

strengthens relationships and helps us break through stuck patterns in work and life.

We also do a deep dive into the Curiosity Curve, Dr. Clary's revolutionary model and assessment tool.

We also dive into the surprising ways curiosity reduces burnout and

emotional exhaustion and why curiosity in the age of AI is our most human advantage. Dr. Clary has a magical way of blending research with storytelling,

data with humanity and leadership with heart. And today, she's here to help us understand

why asking better questions might just be the key to becoming

the leader, partner and human we aspire to be. It's time now to take a breath, settle in.

So, without further ado, let's go to today's episode.

Welcome to A Voice and Beyond.

I am beyond excited to have a very special guest on the show, Dr. Deborah Clary.
