The Curious
Mindset Isn’t
For Everyone.

Truth be told, we don’t accept everyone.

The Curious Mindset is for technology leaders

Those heading a team, steering their organisation's tech strategy, and breaking new ground in the industry.

Micky Simoncini
Cloud Services Manager | Signode

"Having attended a few Curious Mindset sessions so far, the value add this has given me is immeasurable. Always great to hear different leaders approach to many areas of the leadership path. Being a recent new leader myself, this has accelerated my confidence and mindset to become a better leader for my team and company and I have Curious mindset to thank for that! Thank you to the whole team in front and behind the scenes at The Curious Mindset"

Arunas Rudys
Group Digital Workplace Manager | ABP

TCM is a great community of leaders looking to grow personally but also keen to share their insights with the community."

Charlotte Parker

Luke Johnson
IT Infrastructure Manager | Active Care Group

"The TCM is a gathering of some really good solid IT industry professionals, curious to learn more about leadership working with a fantastic presenter. The guest speakers are head and shoulders above the people that I have heard speak before. This hands down beats any other leadership seminars that I have ever attended and the best part is that it is free. The Curious Mindset is run by 64TEQ, they host the session and sit quietly on the call interacting as any other candidate, there is no hard sell no pushy sales follow up. By running these sessions Bandish CEO of 64TEQ showcases the skills of his organisation"

Why do they join our exclusive, invitation-only community?

Because they know that - to develop and excel as a leader – you must always be growing and learning.  

As a member, you go beyond traditional, one-dimensional learning methods like podcasts and seminars.

Instead, in The Curious Mindset you join a community of like-minded leaders, who learn from live talks with inspiring figures in sectors like sport, business, exploration, and the military. These are interactive sessions, where you can ask questions and engage in deep discussion.

What unites all our members, as you might expect, is a curious mindset.

It's for those who share the pressure to deliver results, but have a thirst to develop the strategies and skills necessary to drive that success.

Themes we cover include building resilience, using storytelling to motivate, how to improve team culture, and strengthening negotiation skills.
