The World’s First Chief Heart Officer on How to Embrace Being Yourself at Work with Claude Silver
This episode is brought to you by Mitel. If you’re thinking about how communication impacts leadership and resilience in your own organization, Mitel works with more than 70 million users worldwide across critical industries to keep teams secure and connected. You can check them out at Mitel.com. Episode recap Marcel sat down with Claude Silver to talk about her bold and practical debut, Be Yourself at Work. Silver argues authentic presence is today’s top business superpower and provides a human-centered guide to build trust, lead with heart, and foster cultures where people truly belong. Bio: Claude Silver is the world's first Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, working with CEO Gary Vaynerchuk to drive success. She has spoken at Meta, Google, and U.S. agencies, and been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal. Her new book is Be Yourself at Work: The Groundbreaking Power of Showing Up, Standing Out, and Leading from the Heart. Quotes: “There is so much power when you are truly your authentic self, when you are not trying to fit in” “You are the only person that can change the song in your head.” “Belonging is our human birthright, and we all need it.” “You don’t drain, you radiate.” “The calmer we are, the clearer we can be.” Takeaways: Build self-awareness by understanding your values, patterns, fears, and strengths. Replace fake urgency with intentional calm to reduce burnout and improve clarity. Create belonging by helping people feel seen, heard, and psychologically safe. Practice emotional bravery by having honest conversations instead of avoiding discomfort. Leaders should listen deeply, acknowledge people often, and show their humanity. In an AI-driven world, emotional intelligence and human connection matter more than ever. Small moments of authenticity and appreciation can transform workplace culture. Timestamps: [00:00] Introduction and Claude Silver’s background [04:01] Personal story and Outward Bound transformation [12:29] Origin of the Chief Heart Officer role [16:00] Big idea of Be Yourself at Work [17:30] Real meaning of authenticity at work [19:55] The Three E’s: optimism, bravery, efficiency [23:36] Benefits of an emotionally healthy culture [25:38] Inner work and self‑awareness [27:50] Fake urgency and running on calm [32:59] Belonging, safety, and performance [36:24] Building trust in remote, multi‑gen teams [38:27] AI, efficiency, and human connection [40:11] Practical advice for CEOs and leaders [43:52] Speed round: personal side of Claude [46:43] Leading with love and radiating energy [47:06] Final takeaway: small actions to reconnect Conclusion: Authenticity, trust, and emotional courage are no longer optional in leadership—they are essential for building healthy, high-performing cultures. When leaders create spaces where people feel safe to belong and contribute fully, organizations become more resilient, innovative, and human. Claude Silver’s message is simple yet powerful: real leadership begins with self-awareness, grows through connection, and thrives when people choose to radiate instead of drain.
