What does it take to leave one of the top HR roles in the world—and do it with clarity, humility, and zero regret? In this reflective episode of Courageous Conversations, we sit down with Stephane Charbonnier, former CHRO of L’Oréal USA, to explore how legacy is shaped not just by what you build, but by how you pass it on.
Stephane shares how he planned his retirement years in advance, mentored his successor with purpose, and embraced the next chapter of life with intention. From his “4 Fs” framework for fulfillment to the mindset shift that helped him let go of ego and title, this conversation is a masterclass in finishing strong and stepping forward with grace.
This episode is a powerful reminder that legacy isn’t a moment. It’s a mindset. And it starts long before the end.
