In its 14th year, this show is a series of expertly facilitated conversations with world experts in a variety of disciplines. These conversations illuminate problems, issues and solutions faced and considered by aspiring and veteran leaders.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Soren Kaplan, bestselling author of Experiential Intelligence and one of today’s leading voices on innovation and leadership. We begin by exploring how life experiences shape a powerful form of intelligence that leaders can use to navigate complexity, strengthen culture, and drive meaningful change. The conversation then shifts to the psychology of influence, where Soren breaks down how leaders can use psychological insight to pitch ideas more effectively, build credibility, and inspire action. Together, we connect the inner work of understanding yourself with the outer work of persuading others and offer a practical and compelling roadmap for modern leadership.
