Most leadership development is spaghetti.
A workshop. A coach. A book. A 360 review. An assessment that tells you who you are in calm conditions.
Each one gives you something. None of them reach the moment that actually matters because none of them know what’s getting in your way.
That’s where I come in.
You can’t change a pattern you don’t understand. That’s why it keeps coming back.
I start with the WE-I Profile — real data on what’s actually happening inside you under pressure. A clear map of the pattern running your most important moments.
Then we build the exact skills to meet it differently. Pinpoint, practiced around the conversations that have always been hardest for you.
So when pressure hits — and it will — you meet it with your whole self.
No guesswork. Just clarity, and the skills to do something with it.
We start with the WE-I Profile to capture your stress response in real time - not who you are on a good day - what actually happens inside you when the stakes are real.
Next, we connect your lived experience to your WE-I results - a story you recognize. Suddenly, it all makes sense.
Awareness becomes action. Using your data and my Curious Conversation Framework, we build the exact skills to meet your pattern differently — in the room, under pressure.
A clear map of what’s actually happening under pressure, the fastest route to becoming who you’re capable of being.
Three sessions, custom-built around your exact gaps; pinpoint skill-building, not generic communication training.
The WE-I Profile doesn’t just map you — it maps your team. Instead of guessing at friction, you can see exactly where it’s coming from, and what to specifically do about it.
Most leaders are surprised by what they find out.

My system is data-led from the start. The WE-I Profile provides objective measurement of your internal stress response before a single session takes place, so everything that follows is grounded in what’s actually happening, not what you think is happening. You’re not working from someone’s impression of you or the impression you have of yourself. Together we go deeper, faster, with infrastructure for sustainable change.
The WE-I Profile is the only EQ assessment that measures your internal stress response — what happens inside you when the pressure is real and the stakes are high. Tools like DiSC and Myers-Briggs measure personality and communication style in calm, self-reported conditions. The WE-I captures the non-conscious patterns that operate beneath the surface, specifically in high-pressure moments. That’s the data that drives actual behavioural change.
The core work for individuals takes about 2-4hrs in the first month. Most leaders start to see real shifts in the first 2 sessions.
Team engagements are scoped on a discovery call based on team size, goals, and scheduling. The discovery call is the right place to map out a realistic timeline for your specific situation.
The Curiosity Skills & Curious Conversation Framework are the Institute of Curiosity’s proprietary, neuroscience-backed methodology — fifteen years in the making developed by Kirsten Siggins & her mom/ business partner Kathy Taberner {now retired}. It gives leaders a simple, three-step system for staying regulated, asking better questions, and navigating high-stakes conversations, even under stress. Taught around the exact conversations that have always been hardest for you.
Individual sessions and WE-I profiles are available virtually. Team workshops are in-person only — the work is too important and too interactive to lose people to a screen.
Yes. Thirty minutes. The call is a genuine conversation about what’s happening for you or your team and whether this work is the right fit, in either direction. Most people leave with a clear next step, whether that’s working together or not. Kirsten will tell you honestly if this isn’t the right solution for your situation.
This work is best for leaders who know something happens to them under pressure but can’t yet name what it is. It’s for leaders in transition {a promotion, more responsibility, higher stakes} who keep hitting the same wall in difficult conversations, no matter how much they’ve already tried to fix it. Most of all, it’s for leaders ready to look at themselves first, not just everyone around them.
