The genesis of HLU

The origins

of HLU

Inspired by the conviction that “one sees clearly only with the heart, what is essential is invisible to the eyes,” formulated by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Heart Leadership University (HLU) was born from the intuition of Jean-Noël Thorel, founder of NAOS: in a rapidly changing world, leaders can develop a capacity that has become essential, the intelligence of the heart.

With economic, technological and geopolitical balances changing at full speed, traditional leadership benchmarks are evolving rapidly.

In the age of AI, HLU is betting that Heart Leadership will make the difference.

Far from opposing rationality, this intelligence of heart allows it to be completed, by incorporating human, sensitive and relational that analytical models alone are no longer sufficient to grasp. Present  in each person, it can be trained and mobilized in action.
