About this listen

Have you ever felt like you were on a roll? Time slows, and you see everything clearly. You instinctively know what to do, and have the profound feeling that you are on the right path.

This is what leadership coach Hortense le Gentil calls alignment: the congruence of who you are and what you think, feel, and love on a fundamental level with what you do, say, and envision for your future. It’s about becoming more of yourself - and transcending the limits you once thought were holding you back.

Hortense first experienced alignment as a competitive show-jumper, realized its wider application in her entrepreneurial career, and fine-tuned its message as a leadership executive coach. Now, in Aligned, she delivers an essential three-part guide for anyone wanting to lead with ease, joy, and impact - and to become even more successful. Alignment helps organizations reach their full potential, and people realize their personal goals.

Alignment does not happen by itself, however. In Aligned, Hortense uses real-life examples to show you how to connect with who you truly are, do the work to become who you want to be, and project your aligned self from your inner world onto the outside one.

Told through the personal and professional victories of her clients, revealing case studies, and Hortense’s own journey towards alignment, her book is an inspiring and intuitive approach to a concept as enduring as it is momentous.

A poorly narrated re-hash of others' ideas

I made it through an hour of this book before abandoning ship.

The parts I listened to were reworked material from other authors like Simon Sinek and Ayse Birsel, interspersed with clichéd stories about people who'd applied the lessons offered -- like looking back to what you loved to do as a child to figure out what comes next. This idea has merit, but it's long past being original.

I suspect that my response to the material was partly influenced by the narration -- the reader didn't seem to connect to the contents, and I ended up feeling like I was being lectured by my fourth grade teacher, rather than being guided by an Executive Coach. The author herself might have brought more gravitas and feeling to the subject matter.

All in all, a disappointing miss for me.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
