In this insightful episode, hosts Selma Lemsaadi and Axelle Ahanhanzo are joined by Kremena Yordanova, a seasoned CMO and keynote speaker who blends two decades of corporate strategy with a deeply embodied approach to conscious leadership.
From leading global brands like Adidas and Reebok to mentoring future leaders through somatic awareness and emotional intelligence, Kremena invites us to radically rethink how we show up in the workplace—not just as professionals, but as whole, self-aware human beings.
Together, we explore:
What conscious leadership really means in a world built on hustle
Why emotional safety—not free meditation apps—is the true foundation of wellbeing at work
How leaders can regulate their nervous systems to prevent burnout and foster trust
The problem with glorifying urgency, and why slowness is a strategy
Leadership as a spiritual practice, and why it begins with radical self-awareness
