In this episode, Hilda Koch discusses her powerful new book, Leadership: The Paradox of Surrender, and why the strongest leaders aren't those who seek more control—they're the ones who learn when to let it go.
Drawing from more than 25 years as a physician assistant, Hilda shares how identity, trust, fear, and the stories we tell ourselves shape the way we lead, connect, and grow. She challenges conventional leadership advice by showing that true leadership begins with self-leadership and the courage to lead from authenticity rather than ego.
✨ In this episode, you'll discover:
Why self-leadership is the foundation of great leadership
How surrendering control creates stronger leaders
The role of identity, trust, and purpose in personal transformation
How authentic leadership builds healthier relationships and organizations
Whether you're leading a business, a team, or your own life, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it truly means to lead with purpose, resilience, and authenticity.
