Have you ever experienced a person that demonstrates empathy and compassion, that’s OK with showing their own emotion and vulnerability, that doesn’t rationalize everything but demonstrates trust & faith AND overall is recognized in their environment to be successful in business?
If so, have you ever asked yourself what makes them tick? What they think, how they do it and what kind of (inner) strategies they follow to be able to act as heart-based leaders, especially in the hard facts and figures of the cooperate world? We did! And we feel high gratitude to be around such people.
As we’ve experienced first-hand these benefits and have seen the impact they have had in the business world, we aim to amplify their success by figuring out what exactly is the difference that makes the difference. How do they truly succeed to lead from the heart ? We aim to find insightful answers by interviewing these leaders so they can in return inspire others and contribute to UNLEASHING HEART-BASED LEADERSHIP around the globe.
We are international trainers and coaches active in the context of leadership and personal development for many years. We feel that the world has a real need for role models that thrive and live by what we call Heart-based Leadership. We have embarked on a journey to demystify this talent and way of being and want to reveal our world’s top inspiring Heart-Based Leaders (HBL).
“Our world is going through not so easy times … Our unity and humanity is continuously tested! I firmly believe that our leaders can inspire and facilitate heart-based businesses and global communities that will not only survive but also THRIVE. We can grow individually and as a collective by creating these environments with the best of our BEINGS and our HEARTS! Heartfelt connections and interactions can improve emotional and psychological health of individuals of all walks of life and all levels in the corporate world. Our global collaboration, our courage and our perseverance will allow these organizations to arise.” Colette is an international NLP Master-trainer and executive and life coach.

Our project ‘Unleashing Heart-Based Leadership’ was born in August 2016 during a further education in the context of collective intelligence held at the University of Santa Cruz in California. We all felt that our world needed inspiring role models, who expressed true Heart-Based Leadership (HBL). Our proposed journey would begin by finding and shining light on these leaders, discovering the essence of their ability and then reveal their story to the world.
To achieve this, we shall interview a few dozen well established and recognized leaders from around the globe. We aim to elicit commonalities in their leadership approach. Our findings will be used for lectures, workshops, as well as different publications. One of the goals of our project is to publish a book comprised of 22 interviews with our inspiring leaders by fall 2018. We also aim to build a community of Heart-Based Leaders with regional activities and also hold a global leadership summit in 2021 uniting aspiring and well established HB Leaders worldwide.
We feel that the noise made by shareholder value and monetary performance indicators is overshadowing the importance of engaging and generative work places. Our overall vision is to ‘Revive HUMANITY’ especially in the business world. This is important for us, as we feel that true expression of talents, passions and innovation can only come from environments where individuals are valued and appreciated.
