Over 50 attendees enjoyed The Power

of Curiosity presented by Annette

Gregg, CMM, MBA, Vice President,

Corporate West of AlliedPRA.

One of the casualties of

an over-

worked business environment is intel-

lectual curiosity. With tighter budgets,

shorter timelines, and fewer staff, many of

us are just trying to stay on top of our re-

sponsibilities so innovation and discovery

seem like luxuries we can’t afford. But this

is a dangerously short-sighted approach,

because curiosity is one of the most valu-

able life skills we can develop. The minute we think we know it all is

the minute we begin to become irrelevant. The group had a compel-

ling discussion on why we need curiosity in business, what’s getting

in the way, and how to grow our curiosity muscle to grow personally

and professionally.

Everyone enjoyed a

reception and networking

prior to the session.

The sun was setting as everyone

enjoyed a reception and

networking prior to the session.

At Terranea Resort the end of the day is

signified by the ringing of the crystal singing

bowls—an ancient ritual known for healing and

relaxation through sound and vibration.
