In this episode of Unlock Your Leadership, Dr Gary Crotaz sits down with Dr Carol Kauffman — one of the world’s top executive coaches, founder of the Institute of Coaching at Harvard, and author of Don’t Hold Back: Break Free and Lead with Confidence. Carol shares powerful, practical insights from decades of working with senior leaders and high performers — exploring what really holds people back from leading with authenticity, confidence and impact. Together, Gary and Carol discuss how to act with courage in the moment, make wise decisions under pressure, and unlock the best version of yourself when it matters most. It’s a candid, inspiring conversation about leadership in motion — how to show up boldly, respond skillfully, and, as Carol puts it, don’t hold back.
