We’re thrilled to share some exciting updates about Claude Silver, one of the remarkable leaders featured in our Powerful Women series.
Claude has been transforming the way we think about leadership and workplace culture, and this month brings two wonderful milestones that showcase her mission to bring more heart into how we work.
Redefining Leadership With Empathy
Claude holds the groundbreaking title of Chief Heart Officer at VaynerX, where she partners with CEO Gary Vaynerchuk to drive organizational success. As the world’s first Chief Heart Officer (yes, that’s her actual title), she’s dedicated to infusing empathy, authenticity, and emotional intelligence into every corner of the organization.
Her work centers on a powerful belief: that showing up as our true selves at work isn’t a weakness or unprofessional behavior. Instead, our humanity is our greatest strength and the foundation for building high performing teams.
A New Book for Authentic Workplace Culture
This October, Claude’s first book, Be Yourself at Work: The Groundbreaking Power of Showing Up, Standing Out, and Leading from the Heart, is being released. Her book offers a roadmap for anyone who’s ever wondered whether work could feel more human, energizing, and aligned with who they truly are.
Through practical insights and her signature warmth, Claude shows us how to build workplaces where people genuinely belong and can bring their whole selves to the table.
Her Message Reaches New Audiences
We’ve also added Claude’s inspiring TED Talk to her Powerful Women page on our website. In this powerful presentation, she makes a compelling case for why today’s workplaces need more heart. Claude explores how trust, empathy, and authenticity aren’t just nice to have, but are the real drivers of culture, belonging, and high performance.
Her central message challenges conventional thinking: displaying heart isn’t soft, it’s smart business. This resonates deeply with what we believe here at Morris Spine & Sport, that wellness extends beyond physical health to encompass how we show up in every area of our lives.
Connecting Authenticity to Wellness
We invite you to explore Claude’s story and wisdom on our Powerful Women page and discover how leading with heart can transform not just workplaces, but our entire approach to living well.
