Spiritual Wellness: What is your meaning & purpose? (Emily Smith)
Thinking Errors & Logic
Why do we tend to think that things that happened recently are more likely to happen again?
Inspirational Quote
“Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now.”
– Jon Kabat-Zinn
(Book: Wherever You Go There You Are)
Character Strength: Curiosity
A positive character trait exemplified by the healthy integrated self (managing unburdened, unblended, uncomplicated, and unpolarized parts). Curiosity, interest, novelty-seeking, and openness to experience represent an intrinsic desire for experience and knowledge. Curiosity involves the active recognition, pursuit, and regulation of a person’s experience in response to challenging opportunities. Curiosity is most often ubiquitous, manifest in the mundane activities that make our daily lives more fulfilling: being absorbed in the plot of a movie; completing a crossword puzzle without awareness of time passing; opening and reading with eagerness a handwritten letter; watching the flight of a seagull; conversing with an intriguing stranger; examining pictures of animals and outdoor scenery; exploring the surroundings of your natural world; pondering the aftermath of a date; and listening carefully to a new song on the radio. All individuals experience curiosity, but they differ in its depth and breadth, and in their threshold and willingness to experience it.
Ignite Your Curiosity
Rose challenges you to ignite your curiosity, spark learning, discovery, and how to be inquisitive while embracing our inner child. She shares how curiosity helps us to build better relationships and business opportunities. Learn how we can nurture curiosity to improve opportunities for learning and solving problems. Rose’s career spans over 30 years in the Ottawa tech sector. Her natural curiosity drives her creative problem-solving abilities and exceptional analytical skills. As VP of Business Operations at Solace, she specializes in sales enablement and productivity and business automation. Rose doesn’t describe herself as a thrill seeker or extremely adventurous.

Rose will present a talk on why curiosity is so important to relationships and for business.
