What happens when courageous leadership means heart-led leadership? The word courage comes from the Latin "cor," meaning heart. So when we talk about courageous leadership and heart-led leadership, we're really talking about the same thing.


In this conversation with Daniel Weinzveg, we explore what it takes to lead with courage and from the heart. Daniel shares his powerful, yet simple AWE framework (Acknowledge, Wonder, Express) from his TED talk that has reached over 100,000 views in just three months.


What We Talk About



  • Somatic regulation and boundary work

  • The AWE framework: simple actions to address the loneliness epidemic

  • "Polishing your heart" to navigate the world with grace

  • Leading like General Leia: both powerful and nurturing

  • Creating connection through small, daily interactions

  • What courageous leadership really means
