Mimi shares the pivotal moment that redefined her career: a simple yet life-changing question posed by a coach “Is it intuition or empathy you’re using to lead?” That question led her down a path of deep exploration into empathy as a skill, not just a feeling. From the neuroscience behind attunement to real-life stories of unexpected connection, Mimi illustrates how empathy is not just a soft skill, but a necessary foundation for resilient cultures and impactful leadership.
The conversation also addresses common misconceptions that empathy means agreement or emotional overload. They invite leaders to see empathy as a form of grounded presence - one that enables performance, clarity, and deeper human connection. Whether in a boardroom or a coffee line, the smallest acts of care can create lasting ripples.
This episode is an invitation to slow down and reconnect - with yourself, with others, and with the purpose behind your leadership. It offers a powerful reminder: empathy isn’t optional. It’s a strategic essential for sustainable impact, meaningful connection, and real change. If you’re ready to lead with more presence, intention, and heart, let this be your starting point.
