The Power of Curiosity with Dr. Debra Clary

The Big Talk with Tricia Brouk

Today’s guest, Dr. Debra Clary, is a narrative scientist who brings over three decades of executive expertise from Fortune 500 Companies to her role as the founder and CEO of Elevascent.

As an accomplished international speaker, author, and award-winning producer, she captivates audiences with her diverse talents. Notably, she showcased her theatrical skills in the sold-out off-Broadway solo performance of "A Curious Woman" in 2023.

Debra holds a doctorate in Leader Development, Change Management & Organizational Design from George Washington University. She is also a certified speaker and graduate of The Big Talk Academy.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

  • The importance of women understanding and owning their value — especially in male-dominated fields

  • How she maintains mental clarity and self-confidence

  • Her upcoming book, The Curiosity Curve: Life Isn't Linear, Accelerate the Curve, which releases in March 2025

  • Why curiosity is a learnable skill rather than just an innate trait

  • Her current favorites: Book: Horse and Podcast: David Bear
