Are there any good habits our kids can learn from the tech bro’s?

Ann Hiatt would know.

She shared an office with Jeff Bezos in the early days of Amazon, as his Executive Business Partner. She later moved to Google, becoming its first Chief of Staff and working directly for CEO Eric Schmidt — spending more than a decade in the control room of another of the world’s most influential companies.

I know Ann, because she Chairs the business I founded with Pippa Begg, called Board Intelligence. And at our annual gathering of business leaders at Mansion House, I asked Ann: what do these Silicon Valley mega-stars do differently to everyone else?

Her answer: they ask more questions. “More than anyone reasonable person ever would”.

Not louder. Not more certain. Just relentlessly inquisitive.

At The Park, this is exactly what we’re building in children — the habit of asking better questions, resisting easy answers, and staying curious in a world that constantly tries to do their thinking for them.

Because curiosity isn’t a personality trait. It’s a thinking habit.
