The Leadership Spark
Welcome to 'The Leadership Spark', where we illuminate the path to exceptional leadership through insightful dialogues with brilliant authors. Join me, Sylvain Newton, once a month, as I dive into the minds of thought leaders, uncovering the stories, strategies, and wisdom hidden within the pages of their books. Each episode is a journey, a personal exploration into the spark that ignites exceptional leadership. Tune in, learn and grow. This isn't just a podcast; it's a dynamic community where leadership comes alive. Let’s light the way together!
