What if the most powerful thing you could bring to a boardroom wasn't your expertise but your presence?

In this Season 2 premiere of Highest You, Kate King sits down with Sheila Chaiban, award-winning Global Chief Marketing Officer, to explore what leadership looks like in the shift from the knowledge era to the human era.
