Is leading with empathy really a weakness or too 'woke'—or is it the smartest strategy we have?
In this episode, I challenge the outdated belief that heart-centered leadership is soft or impractical. Drawing from leadership science, personal experience, and coaching insights, I unpack why empathy is a superpower and why leading with heart is a competitive advantage in a world that often feels cold and isolating.
You'll learn:
- Where the “soft leadership” myth comes from
- Research-backed evidence on the power of empathy in leadership
- How to bring more heart into your leadership without losing authority
- Five practical ways to lead with presence, compassion, and clarity
This is an invitation to lead differently—without burning out or burning bridges.
