Activating Curiosity | Leading Change in the Construction Industry

Activating Curiosity | Leading Change in the Construction Industry is the podcast for forward-thinking AEC and construction leaders who want to elevate their leadership in change management, strengthen construction leadership development, and navigate change management in construction with clarity, connection, and confidence.

Hosted by Ryan Ware, AEC industry coach, keynote speaker, and founder of Connective Consulting Group and Connective Coaching—the show dives into conversations with innovators and industry shapers to ask one core question: What’s the most important problem you’re trying to solve and why?

Each episode uncovers real stories, hidden challenges, and practical tools to help you lead through change, build psychologically safe teams, and stay ahead in an industry that’s transforming faster than ever.

New guest episodes drop twice per month, along with bonus insights designed to help you lead change with curiosity.

Listen, follow/subscribe, share, and help us build what’s next, together.

Even $3/month helps cover production and keeps the conversations going.
