What if the key to leadership isn’t just strategy and hustle — but empathy, confidence, and connection? And what if you could build those skills in 5-minute learning bursts?

In this episode of The Manage Her, I sit down with Ioanna Mantzouridou, founder of Dextego, a groundbreaking platform that uses AI-powered microlearning to help sales teams develop power skills like communication, negotiation, and emotional intelligence.

Ioanna and I first met at a Tomahawk Information Solutions dinner in New York, and we ended up talking for three hours straight. Today, we’re diving into her journey from global leadership roles to entrepreneurship, and how she’s helping reshape the future of learning.

We cover:
✅ The founding story of Dextego and why power skills matter in business
✅ How microlearning and AI work together to teach empathy and confidence
✅ What leaders need to know about scaling human connection in a digital world
✅ Systems thinking, intuition, and the invisible leadership work women do every day

✨ If you’re a leader, a learner, or someone looking to grow your confidence at work, this one’s for you.
