The Soul Led Leaders podcast is for business leaders who are making waves and changing the rules - with their hearts, not just their heads.
Where others stress about the status quo, you're the action-taker who drives the changes. Making a difference and being a crusader is hard-wired into your DNA. You want to lead from your heart in a head-based world, but it can feel lonely and exhausting out there on the leading edge.
Episodes include interviews with trailblazers, sharing the secrets of how they've achieved their success, and inspirational how-to, to create breakthroughs on topics as diverse as Imposter Syndrome, natural resilience, and influencing authentically, to have the impact your ideas and dreams deserve.
