About Lead Soulfully
At Lead Soulfully we believe that changing what democratic leadership feels like changes what democratic leadership looks like, which in turn transforms the scope of what is imagined and inspired on behalf of societies across the globe.
At Lead Soulfully we know that emotional wellbeing, psychological integrity and authenticity are central to transformational leadership.
Lead Soulfully provides a constellation of courses and connection points to help individuals stay close to their soulful self-agency.
The people behind Lead Soulfully
Lead Soulfully is led by political wellbeing expert Dr Victoria Ann Hasson and European politician & social entrepreneur Jana Degrott, who have joined forces to combine their professional insights and unique experiences of the impact of what it feels like to work in politics and democracy.

Jana advocates intensely for young women and marginalized communities to experience democratic belonging. At the age of 21, she secured a seat in local office in Steinsel, Luxembourg, and was re-elected in 2023. Her impact ventures were recognized by the Obama Foundation, where she is now one of the Obama leaders. As a young Black female representative, Jana navigates the deep personal impact of political life on her mental and emotional well-being daily, a personal journey that led her to find Victoria.

Victoria compassionately supports democratic changemakers to handle the pressure points and the pain points of political life. Victoria walks intricately through the political lifeworld, taking individuals and groups one layer down into what democratic leadership feels like in order to transform what democratic leadership delivers. Victoria believes that if the experience of delivering democracy is toxic, sacrificial and dehumanizing, the outcome for citizens will be the same. Victoria is passionate about helping individuals navigate the experience of democratic leadership, reshaping it from distressful to soulful, by drawing on her extensive research into political wellbeing and a PhD that unlocked representative practice in South Africa. Victoria has trained politicians on democratic practice across the world and has delivered political wellbeing retreats and experiences in the UK and South Africa.
