In this powerful episode of The Leader in You, Dr. Lola and Polina sit down with bestselling author and leadership expert Ryan Gottfredson to explore what it really takes to become a better leader—and a better human.

Drawing from his new book Becoming Better: The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation, Ryan shares his personal journey of healing, the difference between horizontal and vertical development, and how trauma—even unrecognized-can limit emotional intelligence and self-awareness.

You’ll learn:

• Why adding more “skills” isn’t enough and why you need to upgrade your internal operating system
• How trauma and emotional neglect can quietly shape our leadership
• The essential role of healing in becoming an emotionally intelligent leader
• Daily tools to support nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and personal growth
• Why courageous leaders are the ones willing to face discomfort—and how to start that journey
