Today on the pod, we have Dr. Helen Krug von Nidda, founder of With Helen coaching and consulting, and former HR leader at UNICEF, the United Nations, World Wildlife Fund (WWF), and the International Rescue Committee. Helen has trained and coached leaders across the globe, from Sony Music and Walmart to Stanford and INSEAD, with a mission of helping women thrive in the workplace.

Helen’s journey is inspiring and deeply human. In our chat, she reflects on her early openness to mistakes, her extraordinary career, and her I f’d up moment of leaving a role too soon and having to return. A humbling experience that reshaped how she views leadership, risk, and resilience.
