Ep 150 Interview Sessions with Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer, VaynerMedia

On episode 150 I am joined by Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media. Claude says her life’s purpose is to be of joyful service and unlock emotional optimism in all.

Claude believes cultivating Emotional Optimism is the most effective tool in revealing the greatness that resides within people. It is the answer to the question of how can I make the people around me be better; how can I make the people around me do better? And the key lies in the heart.

Claude is the first-ever Chief Heart Officer. She takes her calling seriously and it has led her down a path of working with and working for close to 1,000 employees at VaynerMedia to integrate heart into their professional lives and become the best version of themselves and best leaders they can be.

As a motivational speaker, thought leader and industry trend setter, Claude focuses on teaching people and organisations how to disrupt the traditional HR model with the use of emotional optimism and heart-centred leadership to develop elite performance, create cultures of belonging, empower teams to be purpose-driven, efficient, and strong, and infuses companies with empathy, humanity, and joy.
