In this episode of the B2B Brand180 Podcast, Linda sits down with Dr. Debra Clary, leadership strategist, TEDx speaker, former Fortune 500 executive, and author of The Curiosity Curve, to explore why curiosity has become one of the most misunderstood yet powerful drivers of performance in modern organizations.

The conversation breaks down how disengagement quietly takes hold inside companies, why many leaders unintentionally suppress curiosity, and how embedding it into daily leadership behaviors directly impacts innovation, retention, and results. Dr. Clary shares the Curiosity Curve framework and the single most important lever leaders can pull to shift culture in 2026 and beyond.
