Curious leaders? What’s the deal?
You might have noticed, I’ve been talking a lot about curious leaders lately.
And there’s a reason.
The world isn’t just changing – it’s accelerating. Old ways of leading no longer work, at least not in a sustainable way. New challenges are arriving constantly and we have a hard time to even plan for the next month, yet alone the next day.
The pace of change has never been this fast, yet it will never be this slow again.
Justin Trudeau
So what kind of leadership do we need?
Not just stronger and smarter. But braver. Messier. More curious.
What is curious leadership?
Curious leadership is about staying grounded and confident while everything around you shifts.
- It’s not about having all the answers.
- It’s about asking better questions.
- It’s about leading with clarity, courage and care – from the inside out.
- It’s about being rooted in who you are, and creating space for others to grow too.
I’ve just launched a new page that explores what curious leadership is all about – and why it’s needed now more than ever: for you, your team, your organisation, and the world we live in.
Life’s a roller coaster – how do you ride it?
Change doesn’t move in straight lines. It loops, it dips, it throws surprises our way.
As Heraclitus said over 2500 years ago:
The only constant in life is change.

So by now, we should know how to handle change – right?
And yet, we still struggle. We try to keep up. We cling to the plan. We attempt to control the uncontrollable.
So how do we lead – when everything keeps changing, and at greater speed than ever before?
A personal reflection
I’ve years of experience in leadership roles – but if I’m honest, looking back, I wasn’t leading. I was managing. Functioning. Performing what was expected. But not leading towards something that felt inspiring, embracing everyone’s unique talents.
I was capable and committed – but I wasn’t using my strengths to the fullest. I wasn’t leading in a way that felt energising, meaningful, or sustainable. And that misalignment? It made things heavier than they needed to be.
Now?
- I lead in a way that feels true to me.
- I work with what gives me energy.
- I follow my curiosity. I trust my voice.
And the dips? They still come – but they don’t pull me down like they used to.
This is exactly what I help others discover too: How to lead with clarity, confidence and commitment – in a sustainable way that feels true to you.
Whether you’re exploring this for yourself, or as part of a leadership team, the aim is the same: To become a confident, committed, and sustainable leader – for the long run.

A curious reflection
Who is the confident, shiny you?
The one using your strengths to the fullest. The one leading, creating, and living in a way that feels aligned and steady.
Take a moment to ask yourself:
- What energises me?
- What do I want to stand for?
- How do I want to impact others through my leadership?
It’s never about being perfect. It’s about being more you. And letting curiosity guide the way.
That’s what makes the ride not just manageable – but meaningful.
Sustainable. Joyful. Yours.
