Kirsten Siggins

Communication Ambassador and Co-Founder, Institute of Curiosity and Author

I believe communicating with others should never be hard. After 10 years working in the Entertainment Industry and coaching professional clients, I had an “ AHA” moment; we all struggle with communication skills and it holds us back personally and professionally. It’s my mission to make it simple for people to communicate effectively, even in conflict. Together with my mother, Kathy Taberner, we founded the Institute Of Curiosity offering workplace communication training for executives, teams and professionals, as well as home training for parents & teens. We teach effective communication skills that are expected of you personally & professionally and are never taught. In our book 'The Power Of Curiosity’ we share a unique framework that helps you stay calm, confident and connected in every conversation, even in conflict.
