There Is Power in the Prompt: How Strategic Curiosity Gets You Noticed and Promoted

Episode notes

Most professionals ask questions to look smart. The ones who get promoted ask questions to move the needle. In this episode of the Leadership Sovereignty Podcast, host Ralph Owens and co-host Terry Baylor continue their conversation with Shachella James - senior technology executive in the energy sector - on what it actually means to lead with strategic curiosity. This is Part 3 of 5 of their conversation with Shachella. Shachella breaks down how curiosity functions as a strategic leadership tool - from reading dashboards with real intelligence to redirecting talking heads in the boardroom. She introduces the concept of the gift of exclusion, the art of gathering, and why the most promotable professionals are the ones who ask the questions that shift the entire conversation.
