We’re absolutely thrilled that CoGenerate Co-CEO Eunice Lin Nichols has been named one of the inaugural Curious 100 honorees! Curiosity fuels change—and no one embodies that better than Eunice. As a leader at CoGenerate, she challenges us to rethink community, collaboration, and collective potential, transforming intergenerational connection into a powerful force for social change. She proves that asking bold questions doesn’t just spark conversation—it drives real solutions. The #Curious100, created by Eames Institute, recognizes leaders harnessing curiosity to tackle our biggest challenges. As the Institute puts it: "Curiosity is not merely an intellectual pursuit—it’s a powerful tool for human connection and social change. The Curious 100 is a testament to the boundless potential of curiosity to shape a brighter, more creative and hopeful future—at a time when we need that vision more than ever.” Congratulations, Eunice! We can’t wait to see where your curiosity leads next. Read Eunice's essay on the intersection of curiosity and cogeneration: https://lnkd.in/eA8FcT3e
