“Curiosity led me to where I am today.”
When Ena Hull, TIGER 21 Chair for Newport Beach, said this on the show, I paused. I realized just how underrated curiosity is.
Curiosity brings new tests and experiments.
Curiosity leads to new ways of thinking.
Curiosity opens doors to new possibilities and opportunities.
From a young age, Ena observed and studied successful people, asking questions and seeking knowledge. This understanding of how successful people engage, talk, and live shaped her into the successful leader she is today.
