Even the best leaders can miss this—and it’s not due to poor strategy. In this candid conversation, neuroscience-based leadership expert Claire Hayek sits down with Gabriela Embon, creator of the Power Couple Method, to reveal a blind spot that silently derails even high-performing leaders: the emotional disconnect between who they are and how they lead. You’ll learn how Gabriela’s unique coaching method, originally built for personal relationships, holds powerful insights for executive leaders—especially those navigating growth, burnout, and reinvention. This episode is a must-listen for leaders ready to trade performance anxiety for aligned influence and connection.
