Leading with an open heart – Cosmina Popa
Cosmina Popa, having grown up in the oppressive and stifling environment of Communist Russia, rebels completely against the conditions of her childhood.
Cosmina is the co-founder of the Conscious Venture Lab, a school for socially conscious startups and entrepreneurs, and co-author of the book How to be a Leader.
Exploring the power of opening your heart to enact great change in the world through compassion and understanding, Cosmina shows us that leadership is not simply about leading the way, but 'being the way'.
Cosmina had a very different upbringing to most of us, under communist rule in Romania. She learnt some valuable lessons about leadership and at Summercamp 2016 explains some qualities of amazing leaders.
