In this episode of Spirits and Stories with Donald Dunn, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Weinmiller — TEDx speaker, EQ coach, and author of The Empathic Leader — joins us to discuss why empathy is the true superpower of effective leadership.
After a decades-long music career cut short by toxic leadership, Melissa turned pain into purpose — dedicating her life to transforming how leaders connect, inspire, and lead with emotional intelligence.
We dive deep into:
Why empathy drives productivity, innovation, and profit
The difference between management and true leadership
The rise of narcissism and loss of empathy in modern workplaces
How AI and technology impact emotional connection
Her journey from musician to one of the leading voices on empathic leadership
