Mastering the Mind: Neuroleadership, Identity & Emotional Resilience with Claire Hayek

What if the biggest obstacle to your leadership isn’t strategy… but your nervous system? In this thought-provoking episode of the Business Roundtable Podcast, host David W. Carr sits down with Claire Hayek, speaker, author, and certified neurocoach, for a raw and revealing conversation about the science of leadership, trauma, and personal transformation. Claire shares her journey from clinical burnout to full nervous system recovery and how understanding the biology of the brain completely changed her capacity to lead, connect, and build lasting influence.
