Most of us move through our days talking — but not truly connecting. We tell instead of ask. We listen to respond rather than to understand. We avoid the conversations that matter most because we don’t know how to navigate them without making things worse.
The Power of Curiosity gives you a simple, step-by-step framework to change that. Not someday — in the next conversation you have.
Reading the framework is one thing. Knowing how to apply it to your specific blind spots, stress patterns, and hardest conversations is another.
The Leadership Performance System takes everything in this book and builds on it — with objective data from the WE-I Profile and the Curious Conversation Framework taught specifically around the conversations that have always been hardest for you.
Most leaders who work with Kirsten have read the book first. Many start with the book and come back for the system when they’re ready to go deeper.

Kirsten and Kathy have spent decades helping leaders, teams, and organizations communicate better under pressure. Together they co-founded the Institute of Curiosity and developed the curiosity-based conversation framework that underpins everything they do — including this book.
Their work is rooted in neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and one simple belief: that curiosity is the most powerful leadership skill most people never learned how to use.
