Curiosity That Matters - S01 / E06

CTM 6: Huddles & Learning with Zahra Davidson

What are huddles in the context of learning & designing a regenerative society?

In this episode I speak with Zahra Davidson, the outgoing CEO of Huddlecraft, about peer learning, collective imagination, and letting go. Zahra left her post as CEO at the end of March 2024


Zahra explains how Huddlecraft facilitates huddles - small peer learning groups united by a shared curiosity. She discusses the importance of crafting a personal learning question, embracing emergence and giving up control, and making learning tangible.

She reflects on stepping back from leading Huddlecraft after 7 years and shares her curiosity around enjoying life amidst challenge. She describes Huddlecraft's work around collective imagination, and talks about the role of writing in making sense of her curiosity and processing ideas. As she prepares to leave her CEO role, she looks ahead to having more space and an open mind about what is possible next, following her curiosities with less attachment to specific outcomes.

About Curiosity That Matters

Curiosity involves lots of questions. Or just enough, good questions.

Curiosity That Matters is a series of conversation with thought leaders and experts working at the intersection of design, policy, innovation and impact. 

Each episode, we spend around 45 minutes discussing a framework, concept, mental model or approach that my guest either created or is an expert on.

We cover topics such as collective imagination, expansive thinking, creative bureaucracy, nurture capital, dark matter in design & policy, the boring revolution and much more. 

We talk about the guests' journey and their curiosity, and delve deep into the topics at hand.


As for the questions... I'm still working on mine
