Trust isn’t just a leadership buzzword – it’s everything. It fuels relationships, powers performance, and creates cultures where people and businesses thrive. Yet today, we are living in a crisis of trust. According to the 2025 Edelman Trust Barometer:61% of people globally believe institutions serve the few, not the many. Trust in government and media is plummeting, and even business – the most trusted institution – is slipping. Trust in employers has fallen from 78% in 2018 to 73% today.

This morning in my SoulCycle class, my instructor David said something that stopped me mid-spin:“Bravery is owning up to the fact that you might have fear—but doing it anyway.”And just like that, it clicked. I often talk about conscious leadership—and that still matters. But awareness without action is just observation. What we need now is an evolution. We need brave leaders. Bravery isn’t about being fearless. It’s about acknowledging fear and choosing to move forward anyway.

Aunque fue L’Oréal Paris la marca nos la hizo interiorizar, fue Ilon Specht, publicista y luchadora silenciosa, quien logró cambiar la narrativa en la industria de la belleza.

Every year, International Women’s Day comes and goes with bold statements and marketing campaigns celebrating women, yet without measurable impact. With the political landscape what it is, we can’t afford to treat IWD as just another moment of recognition. Here’s the truth: women are one of the greatest untapped investments in the world today. They consistently outperform, drive innovation, and shape markets—yet they remain underfunded and undervalued.

I believe in the transformative strength of a “we” culture – one that prioritizes shared leadership, collaboration, and a foundation of respect and kindness in every interaction. Conscious leadership drives this transformation by challenging traditional power structures and reshaping them into shared responsibility rather than hierarchical control. This shift is essential in building workplaces where everyone feels valued and empowered to lead.
