About

Welcome to The HI Stack, a bi-weekly newsletter for leaders, creatives, and curious minds looking to strengthen their Human Intelligence (HI). HI is about more than emotional intelligence—it’s the core of what makes us human: our ability to know ourselves, connect deeply with others, and cultivate invaluable qualities like empathy, intuition, and wisdom. In a world increasingly dominated by Artificial Intelligence, HI is becoming the competitive edge we can’t afford to lose.

Created by writer and leadership consultant Blair Glaser, The HI Stack delivers fresh, actionable ideas and strategies to boost your influence, refine your communication, and wield power wisely. Whether you're leading at work, at home, or in creative ventures, this newsletter is your guide to growing into a leader who inspires and uplifts.

You’ll gain access to Blair’s decades of experience, delivered in a way that invites deep reflection and equips you with playful yet practical tools to lead projects, people, and most importantly, yourself.

What you WON’T find here: Generic tips like “be a better listener” or “don’t micromanage.”

What you WILL find: Unique insights and actionable strategies tailored for leaders who are ready to make a meaningful impact.

  • Real Safety: How to create environments where people thrive.

  • The Conflict Series: Mastering five ways to manage conflict.

  • Becoming a Boss: Five lessons you wish you knew earlier.
