The Innate Self at Work: Meaning, Connection & the 8 Characteristics with Jules Kuroda

Send us a text What if your most important growth edge isn’t in your mindset, emotions, or even your body—but in a deeper part of you that craves connection, purpose, and joy? In this conversation, executive coach and author Jules Kuroda shares the heart of her book The Innate Self: You Are More Than Your Mind, Body, and Emotions. Drawing on a career across academia, nonprofits, startups, and corporate life—with leaders from 50+ countries—Jules noticed the same exhale at the end of coaching sessions: “But what’s it all for?” We talk about the post-COVID hunger for meaning at work, why doom-scrolling and busyness numb the very thing we’re seeking, and how to build the 8 characteristics of the innate self in everyday life. Expect practical tools, zero dogma, and stories—from refugee resettlement to boardrooms—that remind us how deeply we’re wired for connection. If you’ve felt stuck, restless, or simply curious about what lives beneath the surface of your busy life, this one’s for you.
