Episode 12: Why You Feel Disrespected - And How To Overcome It With Curiosity
For season 2 of Rebel Curiosities, we dive deeper into rethinking our own "status quo" - how to challenge some of our own personal biases and bring about change for better interactions and outcomes.
And we are kicking off with the topic - RESPECT.
Ever wondered why some people tend to feel disrespected, even if we didn’t intend it?
Or how you felt the resentment of not given respect, from the smallest things like someone cutting you off to being late?
Julie Pham is an individual who is on the remarkable journey to change the way we think about curiosity and respect.
Currently based in Seattle, US, Julie was not only a Cambridge-trained historian, a community builder and a journalist, but also a marketer, nonprofit executive, leading management consultant and co-owner of the Northwest Vietnamese newspaper for 15 years.
These days, she is the bestselling author of the book “7 Forms of Respect” and the CEO of CuriosityBased, an organizational development firm aimed at helping people realise the power of their own curiosity.
