Hey Leaders,
In our last episode, we touched on emotional intelligence, but today, we’re going deeper into empathy—not just as a leadership skill, but as a force for real change.
Empathy isn’t just about understanding feelings—it’s about what you do with that understanding. We’ll break down the three types of empathy: ✅ Cognitive empathy – understanding another’s perspective ✅ Emotional empathy – feeling what others feel ✅ Compassionate empathy – turning awareness into meaningful action
As an inclusive leadership coach, I’ve learned that awareness without action leads to burnout, while compassionate empathy fuels transformation. We’ll unpack: 🚀 How to move from passive empathy to active compassionate inclusion 📖 A neuroscience-backed approach to rewiring your leadership mindset 🌍 Practical steps to build an inclusive coaching practice
This episode isn’t just theory—it’s a call to action. I’ll share three small steps to build a more inclusive coaching practice: 1️⃣ Intentional media consumption – Expand your perspectives 2️⃣ Reflection & unlearning – Challenge internal biases 3️⃣ Active allyship – Create real opportunities to amplify voices
Because inclusive leadership isn’t a destination—it’s a lifelong practice.
