In this episode of the TomorrowZone Catalyst Podcast, host Deb Reuben and Jen Croneberger close out the B.R.A.V.E. Human Leadership® Series by exploring the "E" in B.R.A.V.E.: Empathy. Together, they break down what empathy really means, beyond sympathy or "Kumbaya" stereotypes, and explore how it drives innovation, elevates performance, and shapes thriving cultures. Jen shares how leaders can hold space while still upholding accountability and how choosing curiosity over judgment can shift team dynamics. You'll hear real-world stories, practical frameworks, and tools to build empathy as a leadership superpower, especially in times of change and uncertainty. Whether you're leading a transformation initiative, implementing new technology, or preparing your team for future challenges, this conversation will inspire you lead with courage, curiosity, and connection.
