In this thought-provoking episode of The Handshake, we’re joined by world-renowned executive leadership coach Hortense le Gentil to explore the crucial evolution from “superhero” to “human” leadership in today’s AI-driven world.

She shares compelling insights on how the pandemic has transformed our understanding of vulnerability in leadership, why empathy creates organizational chain reactions, and the unexpected challenges leaders face when embracing authenticity. Through powerful stories of transformation—including her own leadership journey—Hortense illustrates how leaders across industries can identify their internal obstacles, harness the power of mirror neurons, and ultimately “shine their light in the world.” This conversation delivers cutting-edge leadership wisdom from a Marshall Goldsmith-certified coach ranked #5 on the Global Gurus list, offering listeners actionable approaches to unlock their full leadership potential in an age of rapid technological advancement.
