Testimonials

Telefonica

“Curious Leaders demonstrated a real desire to understand the Telefónica business and the challenges it faces.  They have introduced our senior directors to practical models, tools and skills to lead and implement strategic transformation initiatives at global and local levels. Their approach is extremely pragmatic. They continually make enhancements through incorporating our feedback along with their own ideas.  The relationship that the Corporate University has grown with them over the past two years is one of a true partnership.”
C. Jones, Programme Director – Telefónica Corporate University

RTC

“The team from Curious Leaders has helped us at RTC to get a better understanding of what we can achieve, and how to measure the impact on a long term basis.  We are in the middle of organisational changes, customer challenges, conflicting project priorities and the usual matrix issues – the team that has already been through the programme has provided a stable backbone in the organisation both from a line management point of view and in the main projects. Embarking on a leadership programme seems like a easy thing every organisation needs to do but actually being able to design it, run it and re-integrate it into the organisation is a completely different challenge. The leadership programme has contributed greatly to the organisation’s capability to absorb challenges and change. Curious Leaders has been instrumental in achieving this.”
R. Zahradnik, Head of Strategy, Executive Board member – RTC, Switzerland
“What do you want when you hire an external provider? A fast scan of the business. Leadership experience and know-how. The ability to tune into your immediate needs while providing solutions for the long term. Flexibility, lots of it. Authenticity, openness, a good sense of humour, and the guts to challenge your ways of doing things. Above all, the ability to deliver consistent quality. All this and even more we got from the “curious ones” as we call them now.”
M. Ingold, Internal Coach and Trainer – RTC, Switzerland

Eastside Consulting

“Your experience in being both coaches and businesspeople is an important combination for your ‘art’. I say this because I have experienced workshops run by people who are professional facilitators but are not experienced business people. The result is that it is hard for the facilitator to change hats and, for example, to give any advice. Yet objective advice & constructive criticism are important to move a group from ideas to resolution.”
R. Litchfield, CEO – Eastside Consulting, UK

Kraft

“The feedback from our team was that this ‘Happening’ week was very special for them. It was an extra-ordinary time with an outstanding team. People often reference back to this event. I myself will never forget it and whenever we talk about Innovation I share the results and reference back to it.”
B. Schandl, Senior Consumer Insight Manager – Kraft Foods International, EEMA

Hospital Club

“I’ve been working with Curious Leaders for about two years. Our relationship has gone from strength to strength. Matthias and Margaret are my sounding board, my advisers, my confidants. They understand the challenges that our organisation faces and always see strategically beyond, pushing personal boundaries and opening new potential.”
L. Chambovet,  Director of Philanthropy, The Hospital Club, UK
