Summary

Everything had gone South, or West, as they say in France. One night she had a dream about her grandmother and it unlocked her. She decided to start her life and her career over from scratch. She left her marriage and her corporate job and launched herself as an entrepreneur at age 40. Now, Hortense is a world-renowned executive leadership coach. In today’s episode, Hortense shares some of her top insights about leadership, including how executives, business owners, and entrepreneurs can move from being heroes to human leaders.
