About Andrew Barry

Here’s a 15-second check for L&D, talent, and enablement leaders to see if you need a new learning path for ICs. Your high-potential ICs are smart and ambitious but struggle to influence across teams without formal authority They’re technically strong but haven’t yet developed the clarity, drive, and collaboration needed to lead without heavy supervision Traditional leadership programs don’t move the needle because they’re too abstract, too generic, and not built for your org’s context That’s where I come in. I’m Andrew Barry, founder of Curious Lion. Over the past 20 years, I’ve helped companies like Workday, TED, Brex, and Pinterest develop high-performing ICs who drive action, inspire trust, and grow into indispensable team players. In my programs, we consistently see: • 19% improvement in influence and problem-solving scores • 200%+ ROI in Year 1 from productivity gains & retention • 95% of participants apply skills within 30 days • 75% of managers report measurable improvement in team ownership If you’re ready to elevate your ICs into impact players, let’s talk.
