You did not work this hard to run on empty.
Does this sound familiar?
Masking exhaustion with momentum.
Losing clarity on high-stakes decisions.
Proven routines no longer delivering results.
It's not a lack of effort.
It's an approach ready for recalibration.
What is running on empty costing you?
The same strategies that built your early success do not work the same way in this stage of your life.
Rooted in Curiosity
Structured Transformation Framework designed for executives, business owners, and high performers seeking to eliminate daily exhaustion and reclaim sustainable clarity
Let’s fix that.
Why Does Change Feel so Difficult?
You have built a career by pushing yourself.
It is natural to assume that same approach will fix your physical and mental fatigue.
You are waking up tired, fighting the afternoon energy crash, and struggling to sustain the mental clarity you need to perform at your best.
Sustainable change happens when you shift from brute force execution to an intentional framework built for this stage of your life.
Meet Steve Fiore
Stress, fatigue, and the constant lack of energy had become my daily routine. For a long time, like many of us, I accepted those feelings as normal.
My turning point started 22 years ago on a family vacation. My wife and I noticed a dramatic, positive change in our one-year-old son's demeanor simply by changing his food.
If a simple dietary change could create such a positive shift in him, I started to wonder what intentional changes could do for me. I began pursuing a path of small, incremental changes that resulted in positive improvements at work and at home.
I built the Rooted in Curiosity framework to help other high-performing professionals reclaim their energy, sharpen their thinking, and create sustainable habits using the same principles that transformed my own life.
My approach is grounded in 30 years as a technology sales and customer success executive, an adjunct professor, mentor, and a TEDx speaker. I bring that same executive rigor and university teaching background to the framework I guide clients through today.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and hiking with my wife, Mary Beth, and three children, Matthew, Michael, and Emma.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rooted in Curiosity? Rooted in Curiosity is a structured transformation framework I designed for executives, business owners, and high performers seeking to eliminate daily exhaustion and reclaim sustainable clarity.
How can busy professionals build sustainable habits without overhauling their schedule? For a busy professional with both work and personal commitments, my approach is designed to make small and simple changes, tested with your own curiosity, and build upon those successes.
What makes curiosity-based coaching different from traditional executive coaching? I am a sustainable performance coach who helps executives reverse burnout and rebuild lasting energy and clarity. Rooted in Curiosity sits within executive coaching, but focuses on a specific problem: burnout and exhaustion in high performers. Traditional coaching asks questions and gets the individual to think. While there are a lot of benefits, my approach to curiosity-based coaching is based on sensory experiences, activities, education, and reinforcement. There are only two possible outcomes in a curiosity-based approach, where both lead to success.
What's Steve Fiore's background in executive coaching and corporate leadership? I'm a Sales and Customer Success executive with 30 years of experience leading teams, an adjunct professor, mentor, and TEDx Speaker.
What causes executive burnout and daily exhaustion? Stress factors can be numerous including pressure from the job, financial, health, family, friends, and the list goes on. For me, I was so stressed in a role, I was working 80 hours, 7 days a week, and couldn't find time for a 15 minute walk to clear my head. Years later, after I started practicing these concepts that are taught in the course, I had a similar stressful job but without the external effects on my health and wellbeing.
