Leading with Curiosity

To StRive and Thrive

Hello,

I’m Alexandra

Curiosity probably led you here, which is a great first step. You might be wanting more from life, or you aren’t sure what ‘success’ looks like for you anymore. You’ve been working so hard to get to where you are, and now that you’ve gotten here, you aren’t sure what’s next or maybe where the rest of your life has gone. If any of this sounds familiar, you aren’t alone. I have been there. I reached all my goals by age 30 and felt like I had plateaued in my career by my early 30s with not much else to show for it. But I redefined what striving and living looked like for myself and started to thrive. You can, too.

My purpose now is to use my curiosity to help others thrive through my coaching and writing. Having worked with high-level leaders and strivers throughout my career - as well as being one myself - I understand the obstacles you face. I believe in leading with curiosity to uncover your true potential and discover a better way of living so you can thrive. If you want to strive and live a full life - not settle - I’m here to help you achieve that.

“What would it look like to set aside comparison, discover our own definition of success, and live life on our own terms? The patience, strategy, and consistent effort required to get there may seem like lost art forms. But to create the kind of interesting lives that we all seek, they’re essential - and it’s time to embrace them”

— Dorie Clark, The Long Game: How to be a long-term thinker in a short-term world

    Writing

    Writing started off as a way to figure out my purpose but now I use it as a means to explore human behaviour and the world around me.
