Leading with Empathy and Humility
Leadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about creating space for everyone's brilliance to emerge. This workshop challenges the myth that vulnerability is weakness and explores how the strongest leaders admit what they don't know. We'll unpack why empathy without action is just performance, how humility creates conditions for innovation, and why some leaders inspire loyalty while others just inspire LinkedIn exit posts. Participants will learn to recognize when their expertise becomes a barrier to others' contribution, understand how different identities experience their leadership style, and develop practices that center growth over ego. Real leadership means knowing when to step forward and when to step aside.
