Do You Have the Courage to Be Curious in 2025?

Do you have the courage to be curious? In this thought-provoking episode of Kick It Open, host Shelby Nicholl sits down with Liz Schehl—executive coach, industry change agent, and author of The Courage to Be Curious—to explore what it really means to lead in today’s fast-changing wealth management landscape.

From her early days in financial services to her powerful pivot into coaching and authorship, Liz shares how embracing curiosity, not certainty, has guided her greatest transformations. You’ll hear how the CEO role is evolving into something far more human, how her SPARK Days framework helps leaders slow down and think big, and why looking back to who you were at eight years old might be the key to rediscovering your purpose today.

This episode is for anyone questioning the status quo, craving more authenticity in leadership, or looking to unlock their next chapter. Because the most powerful breakthroughs often start with one brave question: What if?
