Why Curiosity Led?

Born in the Messy Middle. Built for the Work That Matters.

Leadership doesn’t live in decks or keynotes. It lives in the real moments—the fire drills, the missed 1:1s, and that quiet pause when a newly promoted manager looks around and thinks:

“Am I doing this right?”

And the truth is—they don’t know. Because no one told them.
Because no one built the system to support them.

Stressed manager

I’ve Spent 16 Years Trying to Fix This—and I Couldn’t Anymore

For over 16 years, I worked in HR and L&D—building leadership programs, designing onboarding journeys, mapping competencies, and coaching executives. I partnered with vendors. I ran playbooks. I tried everything to close the leadership gap from the inside.

But over and over, I watched the same frustrating patterns repeat:

  • Budgets were spent on tools no one used.

  • Feedback was mistaken for coaching.

  • Development programs were deprioritized in favor of fire drills.

  • Good people were promoted—and then left to figure it out on their own.


Week after week, we cranked out decks instead of development.
We weren’t building leaders—we were building damage control.

The Breaking Point

In my last role, I was asked to take over manager development. I came in with a full plan—science-backed assessments, role-specific learning paths, group coaching, OKRs tied to performance, a clear succession strategy. The kind of system that could actually grow leaders and move the business.

Leadership pushed back.

 

“It takes too much time.”
“It’s not in the budget.”
“Can you just keep it simple?”

What we ended up with were dull, one-size-fits-all presentations.

Developed last-minute. Delivered monthly. Forgotten immediately. No behavior change. No impact. No buy-in.

That was it for me.

The system wasn’t broken.
It was never built to work.

Burnt out manager

The Human Cost

I watched my own manager—a highly experienced VP—join the company with no onboarding, no support, and sky-high expectations. The CHRO assumed she’d “just know what to do.”

She didn’t.

She had to make quick, uninformed decisions. She became reactive. She isolated herself. And slowly, she started to undermine her own team. Not out of malice, but out of survival.

Our team’s confidence tanked.
The quality of our work slipped.
Eventually, I lost my job.

She didn’t fail because she wasn’t qualified.
She failed because the system failed her.

 

And that lit a fire in me—because I know it doesn’t have to be this way.

Guide to Mastering Manager Development

Why Most Manager Development Fails

Here’s what I’ve learned after years of trying to patch these programs together:

  • Managers are trained outside of their workflow

  • Training is generic—not tailored by role or level

  • Coaching is confused with corrective feedback

  • Learning isn’t tied to performance

  • Promotions are based on perception, not progress

We’ve built more LMSs than leadership systems.
More checklists than character.
More motion than meaning.

New Managers

What I Believe Now

Leadership development isn’t about becoming a sharper tool.
It’s about becoming a better human.

Because managers don’t lead businesses—they lead people.


And how we treat each other is the biggest lever we have on culture, growth, and results.

People know good leadership when they see it.


What they lack is the language to describe it, the tools to develop it, and the systems to support it every day.

Buy or Build

So I Built the System I Always Needed

I stopped duct-taping tools together and started building what I always needed.
What my manager needed.
What HR and L&D leaders have been asking for—but never had the bandwidth or budget to build themselves.

Curiosity Led is a complete manager development system—designed for the real world, not the retreat.

 

It combines:

✅ Science-based personality + competency assessments

✅ Personalized development by role, level, and challenge

✅ Just-in-time AI coaching and nudges

✅ Clear tracking of behavior change and performance

✅ Delivery in Slack and Teams—inside the real work

✅ Built-in LMS + performance layer

✅ Dedicated consulting support to help you launch and scale

 

Think of it like Clippy—if Clippy had a coaching certification, understood your org’s goals, and showed up just when a manager needed clarity most.
