Every stage builds on the last. Most leadership programs stop at Stage 1.
This one doesn’t start until you understand what Stage 1 actually reveals.
Data without context is noise. The debrief is where your WE-I results stop being numbers on a page and become a story you recognize.
No other practitioner offers the unique combination of the WE-I Profile and the Curious Conversation Framework.
The WE-I Profile is the only assessment of its kind, uniquely designed to measure your stress response under pressure, rather than your personality in calm conditions. The Curious Conversation Framework, developed by Kathy Taberner & Kirsten Siggins over fifteen years, provides you with precise, actionable skills to address what the WE-I uncovers.
Together, these tools do more than create awareness, they drive transformation. Results come faster than with coaching alone, faster than with any assessment you've taken, and faster than you thought possible.
This powerful combination propels you across the finish line, helping you become the leader you aspire to be.
Kirsten Siggins has spent fifteen years delivering and refining this system across healthcare, government, law, financial services, and education.
She is the co-author of The Power of Curiosity and co-founder of the Institute of Curiosity — built alongside her mother, Kathy Taberner.
The Power of Curiosity is an Amazon bestseller, translated into Japanese, endorsed by Daymond John.

You know you’re capable. But your patterns and blind spots under pressure keep getting in the way. You sense it, but you can’t quite see it clearly enough to change.That’s what changes here. The WE-I gives you the map; the Curious Conversation Framework gives you the skills. Together, they accelerate your path to becoming the leader you know you can be—faster than you thought possible.
You’ve tried programs and retreats. The pattern is familiar: great feedback, real enthusiasm, then it’s all gone within a month.This is different. It starts with data, not just content. The WE-I Profile provides each leader with a precise map of their stress response, so the skills developed in the Curious Conversation Framework are laser-focused on what’s actually holding them back. Lasting change comes not from inspiration, but from specificity.If you’re ready for results that last—and come faster than anything you’ve tried before—this is it.
You’re building a culture, not just managing performance. For that, your senior team must model communication that creates psychological safety, retains top talent, and drives real results.This system creates true change at the root, not just the surface. When one leader stops reacting under pressure, every conversation transforms. Multiply that across a senior team, and what shifts isn’t just communication. It determines whether your best people stay, your best ideas come forward, and whether your culture holds strong under pressure.It’s faster than any program you’ve tried and deeper than any assessment you’ve used. This is where culture truly changes.
This 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. You’re working from a precise map.
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 Curious Conversation Framework is the Institute of Curiosity’s proprietary, neuroscience-backed methodology — fifteen years in the making developed by Kirsten Siggins & Kathy Taberner. 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 are available virtually. Team workshops are in-person only — the work is too important and too interactive to lose people to a screen.
That depends on the package and team size.
Individual leaders who complete all three stages typically move through the system over four months — with intentional spacing between sessions to process, apply, and return with real experience to build on. Each session deepens the last.
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.
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.
Stay Curious When It Counts.
