For Elina Teboul, leadership isn’t just about strategy—it’s about embracing the full spectrum of human intelligence to drive innovation, build psychological safety, and foster inclusive workplaces. In her new book, Feminine Intelligence, she reveals how integrating both feminine and masculine traits can unlock creativity, enhance decision-making, and create more resilient business leaders.

She dives into the resistance to feminine intelligence, the historical roots of gendered leadership styles, and why balancing these energies is crucial for navigating uncertainty in today’s fast-changing world. Teboul also explores the power of conscious leadership—leaders who can manage fear, inspire collaboration, and cultivate high-performing teams.

Beyond leadership, she shares insights into how psychedelic-assisted therapies can deepen self-awareness and healing, leading to more authentic and effective leadership.
