Today I am joined by Hortense le Gentil, author of THE UNLOCKED LEADER: Dare to Free Your Own Voice, Lead with Empathy, and Shine Your Light in the World, who reveals how anyone can learn to shift their sights from the impossible-to-achieve superhero leader ideal to an effective human leader.

She is a world-renowned executive leadership coach, speaker, and author. She guides CEOs and senior executives on their journey from hero leaders to human leaders. Guided by 30 years in business, working across industries—including media consulting and advertising—and as an entrepreneur.
