Leadership in the Moment

2. People-First Leadership & Empathy

Today’s episode delves into the unique approach of People-First Leadership, a method that harnesses empathy to foster positive connections within an organization. As a coach, I'm deeply rooted in positive psychology and fascinated by the transformative power of positive emotions in people's lives. I advocate for using empathy as a catalyst for personal growth and well-being and for its ability to fuel meaningful connections.

  • What is People-First Leadership?
  • An inspiring organizational example of a People-First approach in action.
  • Brene Brown’s definition of empathy and how we can use empathy to foster connections.
  • Martin Seligman’s PERMA model measures well-being and flourishing.
