I appreciated this book for refocusing my attention on asking questions and getting curious rather than believing I have all the answers. Although the lessons in this book apply to life as much as business, the reason I added it to a list about growing your business is because I believe curiosity should be number one on every business owner’s list of skills.

In an increasingly partisan landscape, the most practical tool I can develop to build relationships—which are key to growing my business—is having curious (and difficult) conversations.

From Emily's list on grow your business without losing sleep.

Mónica Guzmán is not just another author and storyteller.

She’s also a supporter of an organization that is doing amazing things to bring our divided nation together – Braver Angels (check out BraverAngels.org).

I thought I knew a lot about facilitation and listening but the folks at Braver Angels have opened doors for me that I didn’t know were there.

Please, please, please check them out and read Monica’s book!
