The Myth of Curiosity: The Story of Deniz Tudor
Deniz Tudor challenges the conventional advice to simply “stay curious”, arguing that curiosity is the result of something deeper: confidence. Drawing on her career across financial risk management, economics, scenario planning, compliance, governance, data analytics and AI/ML, she explores how continuous learning has shaped her professional journey. The article examines how confidence, helping others and becoming comfortable with uncertainty can create the conditions for lifelong learning and professional growth.
