Leadership of the Heart™

Esther van Toledo, MBA, explores the human side of business: why people resist, why agreement doesn't always become action, and what changes when a leader brings their heart coherent state into the conversation. Because the world you experience is shaped by the state you are in. By changing your state, you get better results. Here's her gift to you.

They said yes in the meeting.So why is nothing changing?

You explained the plan. You answered the questions. Everyone seemed on board. Then Monday comes, and you're having the same conversation again.

It's tempting to explain it one more time. But lasting change rarely starts with better instructions. It starts with what happens between people, especially under pressure. This happens not only in your team, but with suppliers, clients and colleagues. Get smarter on the human side of business.

Esther in conversation with a leader
"Why aren't they listening?"
"Why don't they just do what we agreed?"

When "yes" becomes action

Those are real business frustrations. And the answer isn't always another explanation, a tighter process or more pressure. Your communication is direct and clear, but they're still not doing it. Are you reaching them at the right level? Are you seeing what may be hidden beneath the surface?

People respond to more than your words. They sense your urgency, frustration or openness. Your state influences what you say and how you say it, which makes the difference between them taking responsibility and moving with you, or not.

Heart coherent leadership begins there. When you can regulate yourself and stay connected to others, you create more room for honest conversations and intrinsic motivation. That is where "yes" in the meeting has a better chance of becoming "yes" in action.

You don't need to be more emotional.
You need to become more intelligent with emotions, yours and theirs.

Speaking

Bring the human side of business to your stage.

Esther's keynotes give leaders an experience they can recognize in themselves and use with their teams. She connects the science of stress and emotion with the realities of leadership: resistance to change, difficult conversations, lost energy and plans that fail to gain support.

Expect high energy, stories, humor, audience participation and practical insights that stay with people long after the event.

Your audience will leave with

  • A new way to understand resistance and the gap between agreement and action.
  • A practical way to reset before a difficult conversation.
  • A sharper understanding of how a leader's state affects the room.
  • A reason to see emotional skills as a business advantage.

Executive Coaching

A coach who thinks like a business leader.

Esther spent a decade leading teams in international businesses, including ABN AMRO, Siemens, Citibank, Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola in Poland, Bangladesh, USA, India and Turkey. She knows the pressure to deliver results. She also knows what it costs when leaders rely on effort and control while losing connection with themselves and their people.

That experience shaped Leadership of the Heart™. For more than two decades, she has helped CEOs and leadership teams upgrade the human side of their business, working with more than 5,000 leaders across over 200 organizations. Her work brings together business experience, neurobiology, psychosomatics and practical tools for emotional regulation.

Esther loves working with leaders. She understands their ambition, quickly sees what is happening beneath the surface and what is blocking progress, and translates it into changes they can use in the business.

Make room to lead differently.

In one-on-one coaching, Esther works with CEOs, directors and founders who want to move forward without carrying everything alone. Together, they look at the patterns behind recurring frustration, the conversations they avoid and the places where their energy disappears, the blocks in their field they cannot see yet.

The work helps leaders become calmer and clearer, set boundaries, delegate with more trust and build stronger relationships with their teams.
