What happens when the expertise we've spent years developing begins to limit our curiosity? Steven Morris explores the relationship between knowing, leadership, and lifelong learning, reflecting on his return to the classroom to study depth psychology. An invitation to reconsider what we think we know, remain open to new perspectives, and embrace the unfinished work of becoming.
Experience teaches us to recognize patterns, anticipate problems, and offer answers. But somewhere along the way, knowing can become a barrier to discovering something new.
After decades of working with leaders, I found myself drawn back to questions about human behavior, imagination, and the lifelong process of becoming. Those questions eventually led me to pursue another master's degree, this time in depth psychology.
The experience reminded me that curiosity is more than gathering information. It's the willingness to question our assumptions, listen with genuine attention, and allow what we learn to change us.
In this episode, I explore why curiosity matters as much to experienced leaders as it does to beginners, and why becoming who we are remains unfinished work.
Join me as I explore:
✅ How expertise can quietly discourage curiosity.
✅ Why curiosity is an essential leadership meta-skill.
✅ The difference between finding answers and asking deeper questions.
✅ How curiosity becomes a form of care.
✅ The value of becoming a beginner again.
