Claude shares the wild, beautiful story that changed her life on a 93-day wilderness course, how she learned to rewrite the soundtrack in her own head, and why emotional intelligence—not spreadsheets—became her true superpower.
They dive into the power of saying yes, how to spot the lies your inner critic keeps whispering, and why supporting people with empathy unlocks levels of creativity and courage most businesses never touch.
