Heart Leadership University

To tackle three global challenges (growing inequalities, overstepping planetary boundaries and misuse of AI), a new university was founded by Jean-Noël Thorel and Hélène Le Teno in 2021.

Heart Leadership University is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to helping people develop their heart intelligence (intution, empathy, courage) in order to make better decisions to preserve our humanity.

We decided to focus our actions on top business leaders, as a key leverage point for systemic change.

Our ambition

To provide a unique space for education, research and debate on leadership, with the aim of changing the way people think and creating a movement of pioneering leaders driven by the intelligence of the heart.
