This episode is about how leadership will wear you out if you don't get to know yourself.
What if the next step in your leadership isn’t about being louder, bolder, or more strategic, but more you?
In this first episode of Eksakt VIP-ish, Helene shares the personal turning point that changed everything: a disorienting return from maternity leave, a job that no longer fit, and the important realization that clarity starts within.
We explore why knowing yourself is the foundation of powerful leadership, and how misalignment, however subtle, can slowly unravel your confidence, your creativity, and your ambition.
You’ll hear stories of two women, Donna Karan and Ursula Burns, who redefined power not by becoming someone else, but by returning to who they truly were.
This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask better questions:
What do you long for?
What’s always been true about you, even when you’ve forgotten it?
And what would shift if you finally led from that place?
If you're building something bold, a business, a voice, a self, and you want to lead in a way that feels more true, not just more impressive… this is for you.
