The Curious Leader Newsletter
For leaders who put curiosity to work

What’s it like? Usually longform, practical and personal. With impertinent questions, footnotes and the odd swear. I send it monthly. If short, regular bursts are more your thing, you might like this 30ish-second read each weekday for a month.
Why do I write it? One size doesn’t fit all, and trying to squeeze yourself in is exhausting. Not to mention ineffective. Getting curious reverses that. It gives you agency to figure out what matters to you, which trade-offs you’re willing to make and what you can adapt to work for you. Which means you can crack on with more clarity and less stress. Phew!
Who am I? I’m a leadership coach and founder of a leadership development agency, Chirp. My business was born out of a frustration with crap leadership and equally crap leadership advice, much of which assumed that leaders are all the same. Or living in the Before Times. Or something. Cue massive gap between expectation and reality. And quite a few miffed, baffled and knackered leaders.
So I help leaders, teams and organisations to apply practical curiosity and radical imagination to who they are, how they lead and who they might become. Which means they have fewer untested assumptions and more brainspace for what matters. And the rest of us have more clear, effective and diverse leaders. Which is quite handy in this tricky, uncertain, endlessly possible world.
