“During my time working with [insert high-profile CEO here],” starts the candidate for the third time in ten minutes. What begins as an impressive credential quickly spirals into a litany of names, positions and connections. Until it becomes clear they’re more interested in who they know than what they can bring to the table. Networking is a powerful tool, but when overdone, it can...

A great candidate may radiate executive presence. They’ve rehearsed every answer, mastered the content, and projected the perfect image. But something still feels… off. Why? Because they’re playing a role — not showing up as themselves. Authenticity is the foundation of trust. Candidates who focus too much on “looking” the part often miss the essence of leadership: “connection and...

We do say that leaders are visionaries, right? But what happens when a C-level candidate’s grand vision becomes a solo act? Imagine a candidate presenting a groundbreaking strategy that could revolutionize the industry, only to bulldoze through constructive feedback. Ignoring feedback isn’t just bad form. It’s a no-doubt indicator of poor adaptability. Modern leadership...

A brilliant candidate, armed with an impeccable resume and years of experience, sits down for an interview. But within moments, he’s’/she’s not just answering questions, but lecturing. Not noticing the subtle shift in the room, as their overconfidence builds an invisible wall between them and their audience, no matter whether it is a live one or an online one. Overconfidence can turn...

When the Suit Doesn’t Fit. Why Authenticity Matters in the C-Suite A great candidate radiates executive presence. He/she rehearsed every answer, mastered all and projected the perfect image. But something feels…off. Why? Because they’re playing a role instead of showing up as themselves. Authenticity is the foundation of trust. Candidates who focus too much on looking the part often miss...

The Silent Saboteur. How Overconfidence Can Derail Even the Brightest Leaders A brilliant candidate, armed with an impeccable resume and years of experience, sits down for an interview. But within moments, he’s’she’s not just answering questions, but lecturing. Not noticing the subtle shift in the room, as their overconfidence builds an invisible wall between them and their audience, no matter...

How did your time at USWPS shape the professional you are today? Any favourite courses or professors who sparked your passion? USWPS was more than just an academic experience for me; it was a journey that offered me a sense of direction. What truly made a difference were the lecturers, true professionals in their fields.

In our world of Leadership and Executive Management, there’s a truth many are reluctant to discuss openly: not every professional acts with the integrity or accountability their title implies. It’s a topic that makes us uncomfortable, but it’s one we need to address, if we’re serious about creating cultures of respect and productivity. By the end of 2024 I can sadly say: it is...

You’ve made the transition from observer to participant. What were some of the early moments that helped you feel like an essential part of the team, rather than just a familiar face? In the beginning, I worried that I’d never fully shake the “CEO’s daughter” label. I had known this team since I was a kid and I wondered if they’d only ever see me as such. But...

Seeing leadership as an invitation to be fully human, rather than constantly flawless - has changed how I do business. Today I wish to share with you, why I stopped taking myself so seriously and how that decision led me to lead with more empathy, clarity and true connection. Many of us have been raised on stories of the “perfect leader” - a person who could command respect,...

Isabelle: “While many might think growing up as the daughter of a CEO comes with perks, the reality is quite different. My mother, Corinne Klajda, is a self-made success story and her journey was paved with hard work...

In the world of productivity hacks and time management strategies, there’s a powerful theory that resonates with many: protect your downtime, maintain clear boundaries and avoid work after hours. On paper, this advice makes perfect sense. But for me, true balance isn’t just about rigidly following a schedule - it’s about honoring my own energy flow throughout the day, embracing...

Over the years, I’ve noticed a word that often pops out in our conversations: “busy.” It’s a badge of honour, a default response when asked how we’re doing and a proof for our dedication. But recently, I’ve come to realize that being “busy” isn’t something to be proud of. In fact, it might be the most boring thing we can be. Let me explain. The Trap of Busyness For...

In the intense environment of corporate leadership, where every choice can determine a company’s fate, caring for well-being by a CEO is often seen as a sign of weakness. This belief is not just old-fashioned - it’s outright dangerous. As a CEO or leader, making your mental and physical health a priority is not just helpful; it is vital for enduring success. Why should...
