197. Is Feminine Intelligence for men too? With Elina Teboul

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning psychology podcast from the HubSpot Podcast Network — hosted by business owner Al Elliott and Chartered Occupational Psychologist Leanne Elliott.

This week, we’re joined by Elina Teboul — executive advisor, former Wall Street lawyer, and author of Feminine Intelligence. Elina challenges our assumptions about power, leadership, and success, offering a radical reframe that might just define the future of work.

Drawing on years of coaching top leaders, Elina makes the case that intuition, emotional presence, creativity, and connection aren’t leadership weaknesses — they’re leadership superpowers. And ignoring them? That’s what’s keeping so many organisations stuck in disconnected, underperforming cultures.

This isn’t a conversation about gender. It’s a call to rebalance.

💡 Key takeaways from Elina Teboul
– Traits like empathy, presence, and creativity aren’t soft — they’re essential for resilient leadership
– Over-reliance on dominance, linear thinking, and ego is leaving leaders burnt out and cultures broken
– Feminine Intelligence is about wholeness, not gender — and it’s for every leader
– Psychedelics and somatic work are emerging tools in leadership coaching
– Redefining power is the key to building cultures that perform and sustain
