One of BlackRock's core values they define as "Our Curiosity: We have an insatiable desire to learn everything we can. Not just about our business, but also about ourselves. We embrace curiosity and are open to new ideas because global markets change, new technologies emerge and our clients' needs evolve. The world never stands still, and neither do we. At BlackRock, we're always asking ourselves, what do we need to learn today?"

"Every day. I am huge on actively listening. My manager is used to me tagging along when there is a discussion. At first, my boss would ask what I was doing, and I would say I am actively listening. Even if I wasn't participating in the conversation, I was doing what I could to gain as much of a behind-the-scenes view as possible. Without that, I don't think I could support all our big-picture goals as I do now."
