If You're a FAN leave me a message :-)

In this episode of 15 Minute Mondays, I expose the empathy double standard and show why reciprocity is the missing ingredient in healthy, high-performing organizations. If empathy only flows downward, it isn’t empathy, it’s exploitation.

✨ Key Takeaways

  • Why one-sided empathy drains leaders and erodes trust.
  • The 5-step framework to build reciprocal empathy in teams and organizations.
  • How transparency about leadership burdens creates deeper understanding.
  • Advanced strategies like Empathy Economics, Pre-Mortem Empathy, and neuroscience-backed trust building.
  • Why true organizational strength comes when empathy flows both ways.
