The Limitless Equation Podcast, hosted by Chloe Hooper, has released a new episode titled Limitless Excellence, featuring Kirsten Hasler, CMO at IKEA Australia.
In a powerful and deeply human conversation, Hasler explores how excellence shows up in leadership, self-awareness, and everyday life. From building collaborative teams to redefining success through connection and courage, she shares how understanding yourself is the foundation of lasting impact.
“If you have self-awareness, you can do anything,” Hasler said. “You know your strengths, you know your blind spots, and you know when to ask for help.”
The episode delves into Hasler’s belief in excellence as a collective pursuit, one that is built on authenticity, growth, and unity. She opens up about leadership across cultures, the realities of motherhood, and the courage it takes to rest, reflect, and redefine what being “good” looks like.
Hasler also shares a message for leaders about creating psychologically safe workplaces, “Asking for help isn’t weakness, it’s awareness. It’s knowing when to reach out and how to build a team that lifts each other up.”
“Kirsten’s honesty about growth, leadership, and motherhood is powerful. She reminds us that excellence isn’t perfection; it’s awareness, compassion, and courage,” reflected Hooper, on her conversation with Hasler.
