How do you free your voice to lead effectively as a human leader leading with empathy, vulnerability, and authenticity, and break away from the outdated myth that leaders must be superhero leaders: infallible, unflappable, and fearless? The journey from superhero leader to human leader not only transforms the lives of leaders themselves – both at work and beyond. It also makes a profound and lasting difference in the lives of people around them and the organizations they lead. This is how human leaders make an impact and shine their light in the world: by changing the way they connect with themselves and other people.
In this episode Hortense le Gentil, veteran executive leadership coach and Author of The Unlocked Leader: Dare to Free Your Own Voice, Lead with Empathy, and Shine Your Light in the World gives you practical tools to explain how superhero leaders can become effective human leaders and practical strategies to better connect with yourself and others.
