E27: "Listening is a superpower" with Mimi Nicklin, Author and Empathy Advocate
Mimi spent almost 20 years building her international advertising career when she was challenged on her leadership style, 'is it intuition or is it empathy?'
Just arrived to a new country with her small daughter in tow, Mimi realised she had been mis-sold a job and faced the challenge of trying to rebuild a failing company. She realised that listening, and most of all empathy, was a superpower and used it to not only turn the business around, but become a best selling author along the way.
I learnt so much from my conversation with Mimi and from reading her book, I've already started incorporating some changes into my business. I loved her approach to balance - it doesn't exist, so stop chasing it. Mimi uses her position as CEO to set the tone for her team, 'life first always', which is definitely something I'm encouraging more in my life and for my team.
We also spoke about pursuing our passion projects - her empathy research, for me the podcast. People might ask why, question whether the audience is there, whether people even read any more (!?) but we have to make something. And it doesn't have to change the world, or make us loads of money, but why not use our creations as a way of marking our progress?
