Empathy Is Not A Trait, It’s A Skill You Can Train (E42)
In this episode, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller digs into a myth almost all of us have heard:
Dr. Melissa breaks down why empathy is not just a trait. It’s also a state you can intentionally build, strengthen, and integrate into your leadership. From the neuroscience behind empathy to the practical habits that make it a repeatable skill, she dives into why empathy might be the most powerful tool you’re not fully using yet.
This episode is packed with insight, science, and real world examples including Michael Jordan, childhood social learning, and what separates good leaders from exceptional ones.
If you’ve ever wondered whether empathy can be learned, how to strengthen it, or how to use it to navigate leadership more effectively, this episode is for you.

► About Dr. Robinson-Winemiller:
What do empathy and a treadmill have in common? Both need action to deliver results.
Quiet quitting. Resenteeism. Post-pandemic stress. AI. Modern leaders face challenges unimaginable in the past, and the pace of change is relentless. The old command-and-control leadership style is obsolete. Leaders today must evolve or risk irrelevance. But leadership now goes beyond dashboards and spreadsheets—so, what’s the answer?
Melissa Robinson-Winemiller is the answer. With over 20 years of leadership experience, two doctorates (including one focused on empathy in leadership), an MBA, and multiple certifications in change management and DEI, she helps leaders achieve greater profits, retention, productivity, and innovation.
Her mission? To elevate leadership through the often-overlooked power of EQ and empathy. As a coach and consultant, Melissa draws on expertise, data-driven insights, and proven results to guide leaders through today’s complexities.
