Julie Pham on the JDS Podcast: Challenging Assumptions to Build Better Teams

How do curiosity and respect — practiced intentionally — change the way we lead, communicate, and collaborate?

In this episode of the JDS Podcast, host Joshua Agbontaen sits down with CuriosityBased founder and CEO Dr. Julie Pham for a conversation spanning the 7 Forms of Respect® framework, cultural identity, community building, and what it means to think differently about inclusion and leadership.

Julie draws on her full range of experience — Vietnamese refugee, Cambridge-trained historian, community organizer, entrepreneur — to explore how the assumptions embedded in our backgrounds shape the way we show up at work. And why getting curious about those assumptions, rather than acting on them by default, is one of the most practical things a leader can do.

Julie Pham on Control or Be Controlled podcast: Rethinking Respect, Curiosity, and Assumption

What assumptions are shaping how you lead — without you realizing it?

In this episode of Control or Be Controlled podcast with host Darlington Ogbuka, Julie  explores that question from multiple angles: the 7 Forms of Respect framework, the intercultural experiences that shaped it, and the unconventional path — refugee childhood, Cambridge doctorate, Vietnamese community newspaper, nonprofit leadership — that gave her a different lens on what curiosity actually looks like in practice.

Julie and host Darlington dig into navigating workplace conflict, rethinking diversity and inclusion, making career pivots, and why asking better questions might be the most underrated leadership competency of our time.

Infinite Dialogs with Oti Jay

In this episode of Infinite Dialogues with Oti Jay, CuriosityBased founder and CEO Dr. Julie Pham joins host Oti Jay for a wide-ranging conversation on respect, identity, culture, curiosity, leadership, and human connection.

At the center of it: the idea that respect isn’t a universal value we all share — it’s a personal and cultural one, shaped by family, upbringing, and lived experience. Understanding that distinction is the foundation of the 7 Forms of Respect framework, and Julie traces it back to her own story of growing up between Vietnamese and American cultures.

The conversation explores what it looks like to lead, communicate, and build relationships across those differences — and why replacing judgment with curiosity is where that work begins.

Thriving in Intersectionality

What if the way you communicate at work isn’t code-switching — it’s strategic leadership? In the latest episode of Thriving in Intersectionality podcast, Dr. Lola Adeyemo sits down with Dr. Julie Pham for a conversation that will shift how you think about identity, belonging, and what it means to lead.

Julie reframes code-switching not as assimilation, but as intentional communication. She introduces her 7 Forms of Respect® framework — a powerful reminder that respect isn’t one-size-fits-all. How it’s expressed, given, and received is deeply shaped by culture, lived experience, and personal history.

They also explore:

  • The difference between refugee and immigrant experiences — and why it matters in the workplace
  • “Push and pull” migration factors and how they show up in professional identity
  • Why success should be defined by how it feels, not just how it look
  • Managing energy (not just time) as a leadership practice
  • The power of asking for help as a career growth strategy

This episode is a masterclass in seeing the whole person behind the professional — and building workplaces where more people can thrive.

Workplaces That Work

Most leaders think they’re being respectful. But intention and impact are not the same thing. Dr. Julie Pham joined Dr. Lola Adeyemo on a recent episode of Workplaces That Work podcast to dig into one of the most misunderstood dynamics in professional life: What respect actually looks like at work, and why so many teams get it wrong.

The core problem? Without a shared understanding of respect, even well-meaning leaders can create friction, erode trust, and leave team members feeling unseen — all without realizing it.

  • In this conversation, Julie and Dr. Lola explore:
  • How misaligned expectations quietly create tension on teams
  • The role of curiosity in stronger leadership and team dynamics
  • Why good intentions don’t guarantee good impact
  • Practical ways to build shared understanding across diverse teams

Everything’s Not Black & White

In Episode 58 of Everything’s Not Black & White podcast, featuring Dr. Julie Pham, Julie sits down with hosts Lachandra Baker and Brian J Baker to explore what it actually takes to hold space for multiple truths. This is not as a philosophical exercise, but as a daily leadership practice.

She shares her Rubber Band Rule: Yes, stretch toward others, extend your respect, bridge the gap. But know where your limit is. Snapping doesn’t serve anyone.

She talks about the power of the pause, that small, deliberate moment between receiving something hard and choosing how to respond to it. And why that pause might be the most underrated leadership skill there is.

And she gets personal about her family’s story as Vietnamese refugees, about the history that didn’t make it into the textbooks, and about why leading with curiosity isn’t soft. It’s the hardest thing most of us will ever practice.

If you’ve ever navigated a room where people were holding very different versions of the same truth, this episode was made for you.

#30 Curiosity in Arts & Lecture with Rebecca Hoogs

#30 Curiosity in Arts & Lecture with Rebecca Hoogs

What does curiosity look like in arts leadership?

In the Curiosity at Work podcast episode #30 Curiosity in Arts & Lecture with Rebecca Hoogs, Dr. Julie Pham speaks with Rebecca Hoogs, Executive Director of Seattle Arts & Lectures, about curiosity as a core leadership value.

Rebecca’s path through nonprofit management and poetry offers a powerful reminder: curiosity is not just a mindset. It is a practice.

In this conversation, Julie and Rebecca explore:

• Why listening and asking better questions are essential leadership skills
• How curiosity shapes community and audience engagement
• The tension between problem-solving and staying open
• The role of moderation and active listening in public conversations
• Why paying writers strengthens the local creative economy
• How poetry and creative writing are rooted in curiosity

Leadership is not only about direction. It is about creating space for others to share their stories.

CHECK OUT THE PODCAST

Rebecca reminds us how curiosity fuels arts leadership and helps leaders slow down, listen more deeply, and build stronger communities. What happens when you slow down?

#29 Curiosity in Healthcare IT with Bradd Busick

#29 Curiosity in Healthcare IT with Bradd Busick

What does curiosity look like inside a healthcare system?

In Episode 29 of the Curiosity at Work podcast, Curiosity in Healthcare IT with Bradd Busick, Dr. Julie Pham sits down with Bradd, Senior Vice President and CIO at MultiCare Health, to explore how curiosity shapes healthcare IT, patient care, and leadership during uncertainty.

From navigating COVID-19 to accelerating telehealth adoption, Bradd shares how technology is not just a support function — it’s part of the care team.

They discuss:

• Why psychological safety is essential for reporting failures
• How a questioning mindset improves patient outcomes
• The evolving role of the CIO in healthcare
• Why investing in IT directly impacts care delivery

One of our favorite lines from the episode: “IT is part of the care team.”

Curiosity isn’t abstract. It changes how we lead, how we respond to uncertainty, and how we care for others.

Listen to Episode 29 of Curiosity at Work and explore how curiosity transforms healthcare leadership.
