Guest: The Koren Brothers - Unlocking Your Authentic Voice
Isaac and Thorald Koren aren’t your typical leadership consultants. Better known as The Brothers Koren, these 2024 People’s Choice Award winners achieved the success they dreamed of, performing alongside global music icons like Coldplay, Pink, Bon Jovi and Rod Stewart.
But at the height of their success, they pivoted in response to a greater calling. Now, they’ve shifted their focus to heartfelt work empowering individuals and teams to discover and express their authentic voices. Hear them discuss the “small voices” that inhibit us all and the powerful impact when a leader creates a safe environment for saying “Yes” to the mess of creating and innovating.

Guest: Shirzad Chamine - Author of Positive Intelligence
Shirzad Chamine is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential and How You Can Achieve Yours.
Shirzad is the former CEO of the largest coach training organization in the world, CTI. He has trained faculty at Stanford University and Yale business schools. A preeminent C-suite advisor, Shirzad has coached hundreds of CEOs and their executive teams. His background includes a BA in psychology, an MS in electrical engineering, and an MBA from Stanford. He lives in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his son and daughter are among his greatest joys in life (in fact, he once stepped down as CEO to spend more time with them). He is currently CEO of Positive Intelligence, ranked #567 in the 2023 Inc. 5000 List…a passionate “Culture First” company that believes in creating a better world of work.
We often know what we need to do to be effective, but we sabotage ourselves. We must build mental fitness—positive – Positive Intelligence, or PQ—by weakening our mental “Saboteurs” and strengthening our mental “Sage”. Leaders with high PQ develop new brain "muscles" and access 5 untapped “Sage” powers: Explore, Empathize, Innovate, Navigate, and Activate. These mental Sage powers enable leaders to be grounded and agile in any situation and to create a thriving team environment.
