Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Life's too short to do things miserably. 

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.

Help people feel valued and that they add value. 

Conscious Action of Non-Action (or not forcing things). 

Not everything requires a degree or a course. 

Telling isn't learning, it is remembering. Help your people have experiences to learn from.

It's subjective. Therefore it cannot be judged. So bring your light in to the world and allow those who need it and value it to find it. 

Every contact you make as a heart centred leader leaves a trace. This is your heartprint.  ps. sorry for the yappy dog. 

The best leaders will navigate life's paradoxes and grey parts by leading with their values and principles.
