Lunch Bunch - From Comfort Food to Superpower: The Perks of Curiosity

From Comfort Food to Superpower: The Perks of Curiosity is an entertaining and thought-provoking presentation by Amy J. Schultz that explores curiosity not as a whimsical trait, but as a powerful driver of personal growth and professional success. Drawing from cognitive science and psychology, Amy demonstrates that curiosity is a deliberate, proactive practice that fuels learning, creativity, emotional resilience, and adaptability in an ever-changing world.
Her presentation spotlights famously curious people—such as Leonardo da Vinci, Brené Brown, and Alex Trebec —who turned inquiry into innovation. She also breaks down an example from her own professional journey as a case study of how sustained curiosity can lead to achievement across disciplines.
