In a world shaped by uncertainty, complexity and constant change, hope has become one of the most important — and overlooked — leadership skills of our time.

In this episode, Hanna explores why hope is far more than a feeling. It’s a source of resilience, clarity and direction. Drawing on Gallup’s Global Leadership Report, she reveals a striking insight:

👉 Hope is the No.1 quality people want from the leaders who influence them most.

You’ll hear:✨ Why modern life has reduced our ability to long, dream and look ahead✨ How hope affects wellbeing, confidence and performance✨ What Advent can teach us about vision and waiting✨ The candle metaphor: being a light in dark or uncertain spaces✨ Three practical ways to build hope within yourself — starting today

Hanna also reflects on how vision, micro-actions and intentional focus help leaders shift from doubt to confidence, and from overwhelm to grounded clarity.

Whether you’re leading a team, navigating change, or simply preparing for a new year, this episode invites you to strengthen your own sense of direction — and become a source of light and hope for others.
