Drawing on engagements that include redesigning airline experiences with peers at Google and Cisco\u2014and work with brands like Meta, Pfizer, and JetBlue\u2014Joe shows why organizations stall when questions are filtered, and how to build cultures where inquiry drives momentum. We cover the \u201cwhy\u201d drill that flips compliance into care, workshop time vs. meeting cadence, improv principles for leaders, the marathon\u2013business metaphor, and Joe\u2019s upcoming book, \u201cQuestion to Learn.\u201d Practical, direct, and built for founders, operators, and creators who want innovation without the fluff.\nAbout the guest:\nJoe Lalley is a writer, speaker, and facilitator who helps leaders turn curiosity into business outcomes. He runs workshops, coaches teams on inquiry-driven innovation, and writes about fixing broken meeting culture and building better customer experiences.\nKey takeaways :\n\n\nCuriosity is a learnable, repeatable skill\u2014not just a personality trait.\n\n\nOrganizations that celebrate questions consistently ship fresher ideas; those that don\u2019t, default to past playbooks.\n\n\nUse the why ladder: move teams from \u201cit\u2019s my job\u201d to \u201cI care about this outcome,\u201d then ideate.\n\n\nProtect deep work: workshops beat weekly meetings when you need a mindset shift.\n\n\nStart small: ship early versions, loop in real customers, and refine\u2014curiosity continues during delivery.\n\n\nTry Joe\u2019s entry question: \u201cHow did you come to feel that way?\u201d It invites stories and context.\n\n\nTrain teams with improv basics: attention, support, non-judgment, and building on what exists.\n\n\nCuriosity \u2260 delay: anchor questions to decision points and ship in increments to maintain speed.\n\n\nThink in risk\u2013reward terms: a genuinely unknown question can unlock outsized insights.\n\n\nLeaders set the tone: reward brave questions and model not having all the answers.\n\n\nConnect with the guest\nWebsite: joelalley.comLinkedIn: Joe Lalley\n\nWant to be a guest on BizBlend?
