In this episode, Laura Chandler is joined by executive coach Hal Adler, founder of Leadership Landing and Isa Gucciardi, Ph.D., founding director of the Foundation of the Sacred Stream and creator of Depth Hypnosis.

Hal has spent decades helping leaders and organizations cultivate greater awareness, authenticity, and impact. A lifelong musician and composer, he brings creativity, deep listening, and collaborative spirit of music to his work with leaders.

Isa has spent more than three decades integrating wisdom traditions—including Buddhism, shamanism, energy medicine, and psychology—to help people develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and purpose. Her work has inspired thousands to lead their lives with clarity, compassion, and integrity.

In this conversation, they explore the evolving nature of leadership and why inner awareness, authenticity, and meaningful connection are increasingly important in a rapidly changing world. They also discuss the upcoming Telluride Leadership Summit and the importance of bringing wisdom, courage, and humanity to the practice of leadership.

Join Laura, Hal, and Isa for a thoughtful conversation about the inner work of leadership and what it means to lead with greater awareness and purpose.
