Gaya: "Be happy that you are a partner at all" She says women need to be open about their problems and seek allies. When she was in Brussels with her two-year-old son, people would ask why she couldn't join them for meetings. But when she told one woman who also had children, they said we could meet on the playground.

Kaja Kallas is the current Prime Minister of Estonia – and the first woman to hold the position. Her perceptive communication and bold action against the threat of Russian authoritarianism has bolstered her reputation as a leader we should all be paying attention to. The Prime Minister talks to Adam about what we can learn from the past when thinking about future consequences, the risks of being inauthentic, and what qualities distinguish the best leaders from the rest.
