Leadership advisor Hortense shares her journey to becoming an "unlocked leader" - one who has freed themselves from mental obstacles and self-limiting beliefs to connect authentically and lead with humanity.

Key Takeaways:

Being "human" as a leader means showing vulnerability, asking for help, and connecting heart-to-heart with empathy. This goes against what many traditional leadership narratives promote.
Mind traps like fears, past traumas, and limiting beliefs often hold leaders back from being their true selves and connecting with others. Identifying these traps is the first step.
To overcome traps, track their origin, challenge any negative self-talk, and intentionally write your own leadership story focused on your true passions and values. Make this a daily practice.
With self-awareness and mindset shifts, leaders can unlock empathy and inspiration. Leadership is not about being the smartest or invulnerable, but making people feel seen, safe, and part of a shared purpose.
The world needs more leaders who are self-aware, connect with vulnerability, and create spaces for people's authentic selves to show up. This builds trust and unity required to handle increasing complexity.

Focus on actionable advice for leaders to reflect on their own mind traps and steps to become more authentic, connected human leaders.
