About this episode

This week's edition of the Creative Velocity Conversations: The Coaches Collection reintroduces Hortense le Gentil. Hortense is an executive leadership coach, speaker, and author of Aligned and The Unlocked Leader. Together we explore why the future of leadership requires something very different from the old superhero model. Hortense offers a powerful reframe for this moment: leadership requires humility and the recognition that "I don't know" is not a weakness. Instead, it invites others to contribute their best thinking, imagine possibilities, and purposely explore ambiguity.
