In this episode, Emily Carlson sits down with Carrie Gallant, founder of the Gallant Leader Institute, for a deep and thoughtful conversation on human design, leadership, and negotiating with authenticity.
Carrie shares her journey from Vancouver, BC to launching her company focused on empowering women executives to lead boldly and negotiate with confidence—both in the boardroom and beyond.
Together, Emily and Carrie explore:
- What human design is and how it can influence your leadership style
- Why understanding your energetic blueprint can lead to more authentic decision-making
- The connection between self-awareness, negotiation, and empowered leadership
- Carrie’s personal story of reinvention and creating a business with purpose
Despite a few tech hiccups in previous attempts (third time’s the charm!), this conversation is full of meaningful takeaways, laughs, and the kind of real talk you can expect from Powered by Authenticity.
