In this episode, we dive deep into the reality of empathy fatigue—what it really is, what causes it, and how leaders can protect themselves from burnout without abandoning empathy.
Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller unpacks the emotional labor leaders face daily and explains why it’s not empathy that burns us out, but rather the lack of boundaries, recovery, and self-empathy. You’ll learn the difference between affective and cognitive empathy, the importance of emotional regulation, and why self-reflection is essential for sustainable leadership.

► About Dr. Robinson-Winemiller:
What do empathy and a treadmill have in common? Both need action to deliver results.
Quiet quitting. Resenteeism. Post-pandemic stress. AI. Modern leaders face challenges unimaginable in the past, and the pace of change is relentless. The old command-and-control leadership style is obsolete. Leaders today must evolve or risk irrelevance. But leadership now goes beyond dashboards and spreadsheets—so, what’s the answer?
Melissa Robinson-Winemiller is the answer. With over 20 years of leadership experience, two doctorates (including one focused on empathy in leadership), an MBA, and multiple certifications in change management and DEI, she helps leaders achieve greater profits, retention, productivity, and innovation.
Her mission? To elevate leadership through the often-overlooked power of EQ and empathy. As a coach and consultant, Melissa draws on expertise, data-driven insights, and proven results to guide leaders through today’s complexities.
