61. CHARLIE KIRK's ASSASSINATION and what we have to say about it
In this episode of The Leader in You Podcast, Dr. Lola Gershfeld and Polina Marian respond to the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination — not with politics or speculation, but with a focus on what truly matters: how leaders, teams, and organizations can process collective trauma and its ripple effects in the workplace.
