Leading with Soul

Humanity’s moment in an AI World

In a world increasingly shaped by AI, how do we reclaim what makes us human?

Leading with Soul: Humanity’s moment in an AI World is a call to action for leaders, innovators, and change agents to embrace soul-led leadership in an age defined by algorithms and automation. Marina Fernández Julian takes you on an eye-opening exploration, blending personal stories, insightful interviews, and practical exercises to show how leadership grounded in authenticity, empathy, and connection can thrive in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

Packed with real-world examples, this book reveals how CEOs, educators, and everyday changemakers have turned inward to lead outward—creating environments where creativity flourishes, teams thrive, and humanity shines.

I cannot recommend Marina highly enough as someone who has benefitted and continues to benefit from her coaching daily. Her style is full on and infectious and she really challenges you to stop and think and change your approach. As much as you may feel you know better, once you embrace her methods the changes in your life are immense. Marina completely changed my thought process and approach to both my work and personal life, so much so that I used her techniques with both my daughters as well. You will slip back every now and again and Marina is always on hand to drop you a quick message acknowledging and reaffirming or challenging so you quickly right the ship.

I have done a few sessions with Marina both for myself and my teenage son. I cannot recommend her enough! She has a unique ability to connect with anyone and get to their individual motivators, pressure points or stress factors very fast, providing food for thought, insight and head space to find your path and the courage to follow it.

I truly recommend Marina to anyone seeking for support and empowerment to embrace life changes. She is passionate and vibrant, she radiates inspiration and positivity and, what I love the most from her, is her ability to connect with you on a deep and meaningful level to uncover the root causes of the challenges you face, while igniting you with a sense of purpose and motivation. What sets Marina apart is her sunny personality and natural intuition alongside her unique approach to coaching. She encourages you to listen to your instincts and inner voice in a very safe and nurturing environment that fosters trust and self-reflection. She makes you feel completely at ease opening up your thoughts and emotions and allowing vulnerability and healing to take place…

Possibly the best personal training programme I have ever done. Whether it personal or to tune yourself up for business, Marina is amazing at identifying key sticking points and providing the right tools for it. I enjoyed the programme so much I'm booking in the next!

Yo la llamo mi “Hada madrina”

Toni Naranjo Martin

Marina me enseñó técnicas, me dio pautas a seguir. Me ayudó a saber lo que quería ,me reforzó como persona .... Y mi vida empezó a cambiar. Me empecé a querer más y mejor ,ahora me aceptó con mis defectos ,que son muchos y mis virtudes que son muchas también. Aprendo de todo ,volví a sonreír y a ser alegre ,mi niña interior seguía ahí . También tengo bajones ,pero cuando eso sucede tiro de mis recursos : sus técnicas , las pautas y de la meditación las aprendí con ella .Yo la llamo mi "Hada madrina" Cambio mi vida .... Gracias por ser y estar Marina--

When I first came to Marina, as a young woman I was struggling with low self-esteem and periods of anxiousness. Throughout the course of Marina’s sessions, I have found an incredible improvement in my self-confidence, resilience and drive in life. All of which will benefit me in the future when dealing with stressful situations in both work and home environments. Thank you, Marina, for helping me to love myself again!! — con Marina Fernandez

Marina has given us the courage to make some very difficult business decisions

Marina has given us the courage to make some very difficult business decisions

At Indigo have been working with Marina for the past year and she has helped us to transform our business. Her energy and enthusiasm for life is very infectious and has given us the courage to make some very difficult business decisions. Working with Marina is always fun and having worked with both our Managing Director and our Senior Managers she is now using her magic to strengthen team commitment further down the organisation. We thoroughly recommend Marina Zest for Life.

I feel in control

The coaching I received from Marina was not what I was expecting at all, in a good way. It has helped me to see things clearer and become more grounded. In my professional life it has helped me to focus on what I can control rather than areas completely outside my control. Personally it has taught me that it isn’t wrong to sometimes put myself first, that this isn’t a selfish thing to do. Since the coaching I feel in control, and probably my biggest achievement has been in a personal weight loss journey, where I have lost 4stone, to date. I believe that a big part of this has been the self belief that Marina has installed in me ‘That I am worth!’

I now feel so much lighter

Marina helped me to pinpoint behaviour patterns that were subconsciously causing me a problem and then supported me in going more deeply into these. As a result, I now have tools to address these, as and when they come up. Marina helped me to shift some emotions that I had been stuck with for a long time and I now feel so much lighter for releasing these. Marina has a very gentle and caring way of coaching and is very good at supporting you when addressing things that may have been buried for a long time. She is a fun loving and experienced coach and I would recommend you spend time in her presence.

Francesca Hampton

My strength is within me

My strength is within me and doesn't come from anyone's approval or anything material. I've learned to trust myself , listen to my inner needs and love my whole self including all my faults. I can take a moment whenever I need to release the positive energy I need to deal with daily challenges and live a happy life .

Realisation after realisation

Creating multi million pound start-ups from scratch and taking them through to a successful exit is a perfect recipe to fall apart as a human being. Marina is the soul glue to keep you on track and thoroughly enjoying your life. Beyond recommended.
