CuriosityBased is dedicated to helping teams and individuals practice curiosity at work, leading to positive work cultures and connected productive teams.

Tell us about your business

We describe curiosity as a practice that we don’t take for granted. My colleagues and I support organizations that invest in their employees. development and who commit to building a culture where people want to learn from one another. All our workshops and training, like the 7 Forms of Respect, are based on my original research and writing.

Why did you join the Chamber?

My parents founded the first privately owned Vietnamese newspaper in the Pacific Northwest, so I grew up inspired by small business owners. When I ran the newspaper during the Great Recession, I attended Chamber events as part of my “real-life MBA,” additionally I met many fellow entrepreneurs who became lifelong friends. I continue to look to the Chamber for education, benefits, and, most importantly, a community that understands what it means to own a business.

What are you/is your business interested in – or – what do you need currently?

Small business owners always want and need more business! We’d love to connect with organizations that invest in developing employees and improving their culture. We have a wide variety of free, low-cost, and premium services. I’m also interested in more referrals to more paid programs.
