Finding the Leader Within

We spend so much of our lives chasing performance, recognition, and control—rarely pausing to ask who we are beneath it all. Nadalette La Fonta’s story challenges conventional ideas of leadership. A former executive at top global companies, her life was upended by a surgical accident that left her paraplegic. What followed was not just a physical recovery, but a complete reinvention. Through loss, pain, and stillness, she discovered a new kind of strength—one rooted in authenticity, vulnerability, and purpose. Her journey invites us to rethink leadership as something less about power, and more about presence.
